Item Description

A wonderful miniature pseudomorph specimen featuring rather lustrous, "pearly" / viteous, pinkish colored rhombs of Dolomite which have formed a pseudomorph after preexisting compressed scalenohedral Mn-Calcite from the famous Boldut Mine in Romania. It's remarkable how fine of quality these pseudomorphs are, and the beautiful color makes for an attractive overall specimen. The largest pseudomorph measures 3.5 cm across. SUPERB quality all the way around, and better in person than the photos indicate! Ex Wouter Van Tichelen Collection.
