    Composition of two mushrooms is a puzzle box.  The cap of a large mushroom cap can be removed, revealing a hollow stripe. The mushroom caps are made from polished brown Brazilian agate, the stripes of ochroid jasper. The mushrooms are fixed on the base of dioptase crystals, resembling moss, and studded with a scattering of rose-cut diamonds.
