Rhodochrosite ps. After Serandite

Item Description

Rhodochrosite pseudomorphs after serandite are unique in the world to this famous locale (admittedly its the only place to get big serandites in the first place...). This is an elegant, complete all-around, swirled spray of pastel salmon-pink blades. This is actually an aesthetic specimen, as most such pieces from this small find are jumbly and incomplete. Most of the pseudo terminations appear to have been contacted with the roof of the vug, but have little actual damage. This is a display quality, aesthetic piece - a rare, very showy and outstanding example of this rare replacement. I believe they were only found once, or in one small zone, here, some time ago. valued?
