We had a spheremaker create this sphere from some Gold Crazy Lace. Anyone recognize the locality? Beautiful in person, my photo doesn't do it justice, I'm afraid. He wasn't really expert at identification, and we aren't either, so we have never really pinpointed the source, other than to guess it was "somewhere in Mexico."

Thanks for the ID, Mel. Thanks for the kind words about the piece and my photo to all of you. Tanya, it's about two inches in diameter.
