Item Description

A beautiful and rarely seen pseudomorph of reddish-grey colored Rhodochrosite which have completely pseudomorphed the preexisting prismatic Serandite crystals. An associated prismatic, black crystal of Aegirine flaring off the side along with Bastnaesite-(Ce) can be seen as well. Good quality and very hard to find on the market these days, especially since the quarry is now OFF LIMITS to collectors! Ex Wouter Van Tichelen Collection, valued at $600.
