A totally pristine, complete, 100% all around, floater with incredible red color and interesting black streaks within. This is one of the best large thumbnails I have seen out of thousands that were mined in 2003-2005 primarily. Front and back are shown. Note this is a LARGE thumbnail, not a teeny one!
