Polished Rhodochrosite stalactite slice (Nowakowski Coll.)

Item Description

Undamaged polished rhodochrosite stalactite slabs from the famous Capillatas Mine of this complexity and quality are seen around still, though the heyday seems past. Most are big. Smaller, collector-sized examples like this in quality are actually very uncommon, indeed. The exterior rind on this exceptional and aesthetic slab is essentially pristine. The pretty, rose-red, banded stalactities are classic. Older material from the 1980s finds. Ex Robert Nowakowski Collection.
