About the Item
This elegant Victorian three piece writing set is in truely pristine condition. It is cut out of fine banded agate, the pieces of stone have been carefully chosen to highlight the stripey chacteristic and the array of colours and shades of sardonyx.

Its edges are smooth and without any chipping. The same applies for the rooler, a verry translucent piece of stone with lovely whisky tones has been chosen. The edges have been finnished in sugarloaf cabochon cut. The pencil has a beautiful feel to it, it comes with an old pencil lead. The mecanism for the lead is in working order.
