Subject:Raised crystals /Relic crystals

This is a Liangzhu style cong, which shows a corroded area of whitening on one side, leaving relic actinolite crystals. You may not be able to see this in the pictures but the relief of the carving has been eroded as well. Note the darker zoning between the white corrosion and the unaltered material. Still a question mark over authenticity as I have no provenance, but more acceptable than the rabbit.
