I looked at this piece for a long time before buying it because of the cost. The workmanship is great. I do wish it were a bit larger, but it is a stand-out piece just the same. I could have never bought it if it were more expensive. It matches others Chrysocolla pieces I've bought perfectly.
This one is large enough to catch the eye in any situation, but it is muted enough to say something dignified and reserved. "I got your attention; now take me seriously." It is a beautiful and versatile piece.
