Story
Deep within the steaming vents of Mount Papandayan in Indonesia, this stone began its life as a mixture of volcanic ash, anhydrite, and sulfur.
Maker / Origin
While the 'maker' is the Earth itself, the craftsmanship comes from Indonesian lapidary artisans who specialize in stabilizing and polishing this delicate material.
Condition & Value
The specimen appears to be in excellent condition with a sharp termination (tip) and a high-gloss polish. There are no visible fractures or chips, which is vital as this material is relatively soft. The presence of the orange hue at the base adds significant visual interest.
