The gems are usually cut en cabochon in order to best display their chatoyancy but the most precious carvings are animal carvings from Japan, China, Myanmar (ex-Burma), Thailand, India, Korea and South-Africa. These handcrafted pieces of art are among the most valuable objects from the Far East if the golden brown/blueish color is well represented in the final carving. | Het werk wordt rechtstreeks door de aanbieder opgestuurd: + € 24 verzendingskosten
