Rhodochrosite & Fluorite (RARE Colorado!) Presson & Logan Coll.

Item Description

RARE Colorado rhodochrsoite and fluorite from this very obscure extinct polymetallic precious metal mine in the San Juan Mountains of Saguache County. The sculptural large specimen hosts a dramatically placed dense cluster of sharp, moderately lustrous, pretty rich pastel-pink rhombs, to 9 mm on the diagonal. Striking, adjacent, rich green glassy fluorite is a super contrast and complement to the quartz-rich matrix. There are NO photographed specimens of any species featured in the MINDAT locality page. BRIGHT white-blue fluorite fluorescence! Ex Phillip Presson Collection and W.S. Logan Collection X59-1. An exceptional Colorado rhodo and fluorite combination rarity and a MUST for the species or Colorado collector!
