Item Description

The top face is all there and all four sides are cleavages. The attached sidecar section in the front is a fine accessory and complement to this dramatic large rhomb. The mine is best known for fine fan-like sprays of milky white Bertrandite crystals along with Rhodochrosite and Quartz. Ex Cook Collection. Dramatic large Rhodochrosite rhombohedron from the locale.
