A MASTERPIECE OF GLYPTICS The face of this page is so finely sculpted, with almost photographic precision, that it is surely the work of a master of glyptics. The tour de force is all the more admirable in the choice of moonstone, a fragile, shock-sensitive gem that is difficult to work without cleaving. What's more, the adularescence created by the interference of light on the stone gives an impression of life to these delicate features.
