Item Description

A sculptural and excellent small cabinet combination from this famous mine. Gemmy rose-red rhodochrosite scalenohedrons to 1.2 cm are aesthetically set in vug and surrounded by glassy, light lavender, etched/frosted fluorite cubes. The rhodos on the other half of the vug are broken. The underlying sulfide banding and 3-dimensional form of the matrix add much character to this fine combination cutie. Very little new material has come out in the last 4 or 5 years.
