Features a striking parallax centre — a floating sard-carnelian eye encircled by layer upon layer of precisely defined fortification bands in cool grey, white and warm red tones. Shadow banding adds subtle depth between the stronger lines, while a blue-grey chalcedony border frames the face with quiet elegance. Directly sourced from Ngabu, Malawi and hand-polished by us in South Africa.
