A majestic magenta tone graces both sides of this SUPERB GEM! The mirrors are sleek, blazing, and brilliant, beaming with a deep reflection. The definition is razor sharp and the eye appeal is amazing bright with an iridescence over both sides. This piece can be identified by a small mark to the left of the date
