Item Description

Rounded clusters of intergrown calcite rhombs are very aesthetically set around the edge of the bubbly, botryoidal specimen of pretty pastel-pink rhodochoriste blades on this excellent combination thumbnail from the famous N'Chwaning II Mine. The bit of periphery wear is certainly a modest detraction. Classic and showy combination material.
