Description
A custom lapidary study hand-shaped and polished by artisan Ben V during our active archival workshop collections. This symmetrical oval cabochon isolates a premium vein of crocidolite-infused quartz, meticulously oriented and contoured with a high dome to maximize surface light reflection and highlight a sharp, shifting band of golden-brown chatoyancy.
Because standard still photographs completely fail to capture the active optical movement of true chatoyant bands, this specimen is best evaluated via video rotation under a direct focal light source.
