Item Description

Striking pair of intergrown, gemmy Rhodos on matrix. The Rhodos have an attractive red color, superb luster, and a beautiful sharp habit with smooth faces contrasting nicely with smooth to complex edges. In fact, all the faces save for the very top ones are glassy - the frosted top faces add a beautiful and interesting contrast, and set the excellent gemminess off even better. The pair of the Rhodos together is about 1.2 cm across.
