Rhodochrosite, Sphalerite & Quartz (Payne Coll.)

Item Description

Rose-pink, frosted rhodochrosite rhombs are aesthetically clustered on the side of the top sculptural stacked cluster of lustrous, twinned sphalerite crystals on this showy, excellent and uncommon combination miniature from the famous mines at Butte. Crystallized sphalerite is not common from here. The little cluster of quartz points on the bottom-right is a nice accent. Classic, old-time and rare Butte combination material.
