Item Description
This sculptural piece has some very attractive rose-pink rhodochrosite rosettes scattered on sparkly spherical aggregates of drusy quartz. The vug is strikingly accented with a second generation of matte-finish, spherical aggregates of larger, spiky quartz crystals. The matrix is microcrystalline sulfides with quartz and rhodochrosite. Classic and excellent combination material from the famed Sunnyside Mine. Valued at $2000.
