Ric Posted January 5, 2025 Report Share Posted January 5, 2025 @YasudaCollector Thanks for posting this - it is a very interesting topic. I took a liking to the old fire tree sulfide paperweights quite a few years ago. Here are a couple of highly faceted ones I just acquired. I really like the way that light and reflections play on the faceted surfaces. When you walk around and look at them there is a really neat sort of kaleidoscopic effect. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted January 7, 2025 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2025 Whoa! Those look awesome! (I definitely agree that the kaleidoscope effect is very cool!) I've also heard some of them can be pretty rare/valuable. I don't think I've come across any that complex. I did find one a while back though. Its a pair of koi fish next to a seaweed plant. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coolest old Chinese sulfide I have ever seen was a sitting "Happy Buddha" (with many children and birds crawling all over him) in about a 3" sphere. I saw it about 25 years ago and it is the only one I have ever seen - I once saw an image of it on the web but I did not save it and I've never seen it again, even though I have searched for years. I have vowed to buy one if I ever see one for sale. But I am beginning to doubt if I'll ever have the opportunity to own one. 🙁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
