Item Description
Gemmy and lustrous, shocking pink, cobaltoan calcite rhombs are beautifully accented with a super-nifty, 1.5 cm, bowtie fan of primary malachite needles. A bit of periphery wear is noted only at edges;and this is a very showy, highly representative and uncommon combination. The Mupine Mine operated from 1953-1982. Ex Larry Krause Collection.
