<B>VARIEGATED TIGER'S-EYE BOX</B></I><BR> <I>Handcrafted in Italy<BR>Stone source: South Africa</B></I><BR>This blue black tiger's eye box has very strong golden chatoyancy. The effect has been created by "butterflying" a block of fine tiger's eye to create mirror image pieces of stone. This matched patterning is not only seen on the top of this gemstone box but continues to flow down each one of the sides. There is a flame accent of golden orange ochre matrix that swirls on the top and down the back of the box. Superbly crafted with no visible seams, this box features gold-plated furniture and a black onyx interior. In fine condition, measuring 8 x 4 ¾ x 2 1/8 inches tall.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
