Offering a stunning small jewelry or keepsake box made out of a semi-precious stone called Rhyolite. The box was made in Mexico during the 1950s and it has 5 polished panels of Rhyolite (4 on the sides, and one on the top), all with beautiful color variations common to Ryholite on each panel. The box is engraved on the brass bottom: Belart Mexico 201 (201 is a model number). This item is guaranteed to be authentic Mid 20th Century Mexican lapidary and silversmithing at its best!
The box is rectangular in shape and it is surrounded with polished sheets of stone. The base is brass as well as the banding. There is an aged red felt insert on the bottom of the interior of the box, which is original to the box. The new owner will be very happy about its vintage condition.
PLEASE NOTE: The lid was not designed to stay open at a fixed angled position....so, it will automatically will shut from the gravity of the stone slab. The clasp is quiet and secure. Retains its original manufacturing components.
EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION. The solid brass banding was hand-polished to restore the box's luxurious appearance. The bottom of the box was left untouched for authenticity purposes showing its aged beautiful patina.
