Item Description
Tiny, pretty pink rhodohrosite rhombs preferentially blanket the jackstraw forest of tapered quartz points on this very fine combination specimen from the famous mines at Huaron. Material of this combination quality is relatively rare from this noted locale and dates from the 1970s to early 1990s. Ex Harold Urish Collection.
