This boldly and originally toned specimen exhibits iridescent undertones of champagne-gold and powder blue to dominant steel and copper-rose patina.

Survivors are among the most frequently encountered of their type in today's market, although we caution bidders that few are as carefully preserved and attractively original as this premium quality Gem.
