Another fine example of this lovely Ethiopian material. Supplies remain relatively good - prices are still nicely competitive for the quality of these.  As soon as mining is interrupted or supplies fall short, we expect a significant price up tick.  The play-of-color that this material is capable of is downright astonishing - broad patches of bright green, highlights of red and even blue and violet.  Great coverage of color and superb size - a full spectral range of color that would look great mounted.
