Item Description

Classic and desirable gemmy cherry-red rhodochrosite on this colorful and excellent two-piece thumbnail deal from the famous late 1970s finds at the N'Chwaning I Mine. Glorious gem cherry-red scalenohedrons comprise the striking thumbnail cluster. The couple of cleaved tips are noted, but are certainly modest detractions on this adorable piece. The striking two-toned rhodo is polished and really shows the gorgeous cherry red-color, gemminess and high luster. An outstanding 2-piece thumbnail pair valued at $600-800.
