Rhodochrosite (Kay Robertson Coll.)

Item Description

An adorable intergrown pair of sharp, translucent, pretty rose-red rhodochrosite rhombs with frosted shimmering luster faces. The tiny balls of quartz or calcite are an outstanding accent to this complete all-around and pristine classic from the famous Sunnyside Mine. The skeletal features on one end add pizzazz. Ex Kay Robertson Collection # 2215 and acquired from Van Scriver. Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record). A must for the species or locality collector.
