Item Description
Glistening, glorious, light cherry-red, intensely stepped-growth, curved aggregates of rhodochrosite rhombs make for a beautifully colorful and excellent miniature from the famous late 70s finds at the N'Chwaning II Mine. The crystal field is pristine and the periphery wear is certainly a modest detraction. A classic, unusual and excellent rhodo. The prices keep going up on these. Valued at $1200
