A simply striking specimen from one of the most famous of classic European localities for the species. It is simply hard to imagine how this could be better. It is a full small-cab and has literally neon-green color with overtones of yellow at the crystal tips. Despite the apparently too-good-to-be-Cornwall look of it, the locality has been verified by several English dealers and collectors with whom I consulted on this collection. It is from the collection of noted 19th century US collector Charles Shepard.
