Essix Crystal Of Dog (9110)
I've probably murdered the spelling of Essix, but I know what it is and how it was made. Its named for the town in England it comes from. It's hand carved in the underside of a quartz stone thats a hardness of 7, which is the same as Amethist, Garnet, etc. It is then hand painted and sealed with a mother of pearl backing. Very difficult to make and very rare to see one this large and on a sterling handled cane. They are usually made into cufflinks, which is a fraction of the size of this one. The plane handle with out engravings is from the early 20th century. Find another one, at any money. My highest recommendation.
