Item Description
This cute Uchucchaua rhodo thumbnail glows with aesthetics and color. The isolated crystals are beautifully scattered on the contrasting gossan matrix. The pretty rose-red crystals are translucent and are moderately lustrous with variably lightly frosted faces. The striking, large, doubly terminated crystal is 1.7 cm. This very fine thumbnail displays superbly from either side and is pristine. Valued at $300-400.
