At this years Tucson show (2016), Evan Jones was selling specimens from the Shirley Fiske collection and this one of the several specimens I purchased. It comes with her engraved plastic specimen identifier. She originally purchased this specimen in August of 1991.
This specimen consists of several, inter-grown, very gemmy xls. They display an olive green coloration on their outside edges while their centers display a root beer coloration. Perhaps a slight edge ding but otherwise completely intact and quite showy. I tried to back light this specimen, but my photos did not do it justice as it is MUCH better in person. Enjoy.
