OK, ok, so the stuff is common now after a HUGE find the last 2 years in the Pakistani mountains... but common or not in quantity, specimens like THIS superb thumbnail are certainly NOT readily seen or available. This pristine piece has a great dramatic splay to it that gives it a good 3-dimensionality for the size. The zoning adds more interest to it, and it is pristine and complete!
