Item Description

A classic from the famous Sunnyside Mine in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. Dozens of small semi-spherical groups composed of, well-formed, semi-lustrous, baby pink colored rhombs sit atop a matrix covered with little white Quartz crystals. A few small bruises can be seen here and there, but it's in good shape. The piece is crystallized on all sides, and I can only see one tiny point of attachment, so I think it's safe to call this piece a near "floater".
