This style of gemstone presentation box has been documented and sold at sale as an H. Stern Brazilian gemstone/mineral sample collection dating to the mid-20th century.
IMPORTANT CONDITION / COMPLETENESS:
This is an incomplete collection. A number of the original gemstone/mineral specimens are missing, leaving several empty positions in the fitted case. Some surviving specimens had become displaced and have been returned to their most likely labeled positions; therefore, the placement and identification of every individual specimen cannot be guaranteed.
The gemstones/minerals have not been independently tested or certified and are being represented according to the original labels in the collection.
The presentation case shows expected age and storage wear. Please examine all photographs closely to see exactly which specimens are present and the overall condition.
An unusual surviving mid-century Brazilian gemstone display with strong appeal to H. Stern collectors, mineral collectors and vintage jewelry/gemology enthusiasts.
Sold exactly as pictured.
