Features striking ghost banding layered beneath well-defined fortification bands — a combination that gives these pieces exceptional visual depth and a quiet, luminous quality. Expertly finished to reveal the full tonal range from warm sard to pale chalcedony. Holds light beautifully, with the ghost bands shifting subtly under different angles. Directly sourced from Ngabu, Malawi and hand-polished by us in South Africa.
