Note the deep red glints that attract the eye as light plays on the crystal. Excellent for the species, even by international standards! Ex coll. Jean-Louis Gérard. J-L. Gérard was a collector with many interests, ranging from maritime objects to paintings, and from antique scientific instruments to minerals!
