Item Description

Outstanding miniature combination from 1980s era finds in Peru that is highlighted by eye-catching translucent cherry red Rhodochrosite rhombs with light lavender Fluorite, and a spray of clear prismatic Quartz crystals. The main Rhodochrosite is 1.1 cm with a 8 mm Fluorite attached all perched right at top of the very textural display face. There is also a late stage microcrystalline Quartz coating on most of the Quartz needles. The piece is in great condition with only some incomplete Quartz points and minor bruising. Overall it is a charming specimen with a super aesthetic look with that desirable bright, cherry-red color that is so captivating and just hard to beat. It is aesthetic, fine, and cute all at the same time, and a great combination that is fairly unique together. Ex. Keith Williams collection with his old price from a decade ago of $1200.
