Quartz and Selenite on Rhodochrosite

Item Description

Water-clear, colorless, sharp, glassy, quartz crystals to 3.6 cm are beautifully tinted pink by underlying botryoidal rhodochrosite on this striking combination specimen from recent finds at the famous San Antonio Mine at Santa Eulalia. A stairstep cluster of blocky selenite crystals graces the top of the specimen. You barely notice that part of the termination of the large quartz crystal is bruised. The form of the matrix, placement of the quartz and selenite crystals on the colorful rhodochrosite makes this a showy and excellent specimen.
