L&M-458; K-200; KM-Y-69; WS-0628. Stunning and seemingly never seen quality in an early dragon minor, this entrancing near-Gem offers incredible luster and wholesome charm, all while also sporting a steely gray tone and hints of golden-olive. Quality that is not likely to be found again anytime soon.
