Item Description
Rare and unusual, bubbly, translucent, deep wine-red rhodochrosite botryoids from a small batch brought out in the early 1990s at Tucson. I have never seen them for sale in bulk since. Striking, visual material. This is a particularly fine miniature with top color and luster, and a rolling 3-dimensionality. rare. Valued at $750.
