The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
Sphere in good condition. One long hairline crack along back side and one area chipped to expose stone under polished grey/blue agate. These minor blemishes do not detract from the sphere's decorative quality and the crystals are intact and their impressive hues are vibrant. One black marble sockle in good condition with a few very minor markings on top of sockle where sphere sits - won't be visible when sphere mounted. Overall the sphere is in good condition.
