Item Description
A cute and classic thumbnail Sweet Home rhodochrosite rhomb. The lustrous and translucent, pretty rose-red rhomb is 2.6 cm on the diagonal and has lightly frosted faces. Beautifully accenting one side are blebs of the sulfides, galena, chalcopyrite and iridescent bornite and a nifty little cluster of quartz crystals. This fine thumb is complete all-around and pristine. The cleavage face is on the base. An excellent quality and showy Sweet Home combination rhodo.
