Akro Agate: MINT(+) 5/8" RED SNAKE CORKSCREW

Item# GM2251
Here's one that's been hard to find for quite some time: with a bright cherry red translucent corkscrew that makes about a turn and a half around a crystal clear, bubble filled, base glass; the definition of a true SNAKE CORKSCREW, and the red has become exceedingly hard to find. I realize that many are calling anything with a surface corkscrew a snake, but a true snake must be on the surface of a clear base glass--not colored.
CONDITION: MINT(+) 9.7 or better. The surface is wet and shiny with absolutely no sign of wear what-so-ever. All I can find, with a bright light and jeweler's loupe, is some faint roller marks that are visible in the first picture. From certain angles, what appears to be sparkles are merely the reflections from sub-surface bubbles and are not the results of any sort of impact.
