We do enjoy a good oddball trapiche and this one certainly has something of a different look. Cut to preserve the irregular outline of the crystal, this one brings to mind petals on a flower. One of the most interesting points is the color itself - the individual segments are not uniformly green, they in fact fade to near colorless by the time they reach the edge. For the color to vary within a segment is somewhat uncharacteristic and actually quite fascinating. Moreover, this type of trapiche is often incomplete - not the case here, the stone is fully intact. Lovely size for these.
