Item Description

A really cute and outstanding, two generation, two-sided, rhodochrosite miniature from the famous Sunnyside Mine. This rhodo is complete all-around and pristine. The front is a classic rose-red Sunnyside rhomb, that is lustrous, translucent and has frosted, stepped-growth faces. A secondary overgrowth of tiny, sparkly, nubby, pastel-pink, rhombs covers the back side. Talk about strikingly different look and character from front to back!
