Item Description

A dense radiating cluster of gemmy, light cherry-red rhodochrosite scalenohedrons forms an aesthetic thumbnail from the renowned late 1970s finds at the N'Chawaning I Mine. The basal periphery wear and a few broken crystals on the upper right skyline are noted. This remains a very showy, colorful and highly representative example of the species and famous finds.
