Rhodochrosite (classic late 1970s find)

Item Description

A very cute and classic thumbnail spray of scalenohedrons from the famed 1978 finds at the N'Chwaning I Mine, one of the great specimens finds of all time. The tips are beautiful, gem, cherry-red with complimentary translucent, dark red lower sections. Complete all-around and a very aesthetic spray. Yes, there are a few broken tips in here, but certainly not enough to detract from the overall excellent quality of this fine thumb. Valued at $695 by the former dealer
