The sparkling crystal coverage and the vivid hue make this specimen an excellent display piece.

Seller's Story
Welcome to Angolo Vetusto Earth Stones, my name is Dalla Stella Federico.
Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by gems and minerals, and by the search and discovery of their true nature. This passion eventually grew into a desire to make it my life and profession, leading me to study and become a professional lapidary, as well as an expert in minerals from around the world, with a special focus on Italian specimens.
I am an expert lapidary, specializing in cutting and polishing hard stones such as Australian and Ethiopian opals, agates, quartzes, jaspers, and more.
Ongoing study has led me and continues to lead me to create increasingly precise work, with great attention to the smallest details, in order to best enhance the natural beauty of each gem.
I import high-quality minerals and raw gems from all over the world, to offer only the finest specimens to high-level collectors.
