Large, heavy slag glass specimen weighing approximately 2400g (5.29 lbs). This piece features vibrant green glass throughout with extensive vesicular (bubble) formation and numerous glassy pockets embedded within an iron-rich matrix.
The surface shows a mix of textures including porous bubble structures, rough mineral-like areas, and smooth melted glass sections. The green coloration is especially prominent, appearing in layered pockets and pooled formations created during cooling.
Iron-rich areas add contrast with earthy browns and rust tones, giving the piece a strong industrial character. The combination of color, texture, and weight makes this a standout display specimen.
