Item Description

A 2.0 cm cluster of lustrous, tranlsucent, rose-red complex rhodochrosite rhombs dominates this outstanding and rare combination from this famous extinct open pit crushed stone pegmatite deposit. Scattered isolated rhodos and a sparkly sprinkling of tiny pyritohedrons on the quartz matrix make for a very showy and aesthetic small cabinet matrix plate. Rhodos of this quality are RARE from the Foote Mine. The mine is famous for a variety of rare phosphates and silicates. Formerly in the collection of Jack Eaker, the mine assayer, while the quarry was in operation. Valued at $750-1000
