L&M-426; K-176b; KM-Y-259.1; WS-0691. Variety with 9 flames on fiery pearl. The wholesome and superbly problem-free minor offers a light gray tone and some hints of olive nearer the peripheries. Meanwhile, some shimmering brilliance still emanates from the protected areas, augmenting its appeal that much more.
