Item Description

A Colorado classic of translucent, blocky, pastel-pink, manganoan calcite rhombs aesthetically perched on matrix from the famous Idarado Mine. The large rhomb is 2.5 cm. Complete all-around, with many display views. A very modest bit of periphery wear is barely visible and is certainly not a detraction. Older material from the active mining period. Ex Jaime Bird Collection.
