Hubei Turquoise — Scenic Green-Matrix Island
$35one of one · available
A clear, saturated robin's-egg blue, even across the face. Fine dark veins divide the upper half into soft, rounded pools of blue, and a speckled island of moss-green and tan matrix crosses the center and runs out to one edge. The polish is high, over a low, gentle dome on a clean oval. The back is flat and sanded, blue as well, with a gray seam of matrix along one side and a few pale flecks.
