Item Description

A RARE combination from the Kalahari and the Wessels Mine. Glassy, colorless, massive datolite covers the crest and scintillating tiny datolite microcrystals cascade down one side of the sculptural miniature. The vuggy solid rhodochrosite matrix is composed of a myriad of sparkly rhodo microcrystals. Colorful, rare and exotic 360-degree combination material from 1980s finds.
