A peculiar, yet aesthetic Emilio example, with a full square front face, framed neatly by thick zonings of sharp blue and purple. Besides the intricate etchings on most of its faces, this specimen also exhibits the uncommon and unusual corner modifications that gives the crystal an otherwise “puffier”, softer and rounder aesthetic.
