Rhodochrosite & Fluorite on Quartz (Ed Bancroft Coll.)

Item Description

An aesthetic, highly desirable and rare Colorado combination piece from the famous Sunnyside Mine and the Ed Bancroft Collection. A 1.5 x 1.4 cm, lustrous, translucent, frosted, rose-red, rhodochrosite rhomb is beautifully perched upright on the drusy quartz matrix next to well-placed glassy, translucent, stepped-growth, light mint-green fluorite cubes. A Colorado classic combination miniature, that is exceptional in this quality from this locale, for the association and isolation of the rhodo and fluorite crystals.
