One of the choicest thumbnails in the collection, featuring a transparent, read-through, blue aqua perched on smoky! What perfect, complementing balance! The aqua rises through the smoky, which has grown around the base of the aqua. No damage, and complete and pristine all around save for a very shallow natural contact on the smoky that is hard to see anyhow, at its base. The aqua has PERFECT and highly bevelled termination
