Rhodochrosite w/ Calcite (ex. Trimingham)

Item Description

Sparkly, unusually etched, pastel-pink, flattened rhodochrosite rhombs in sculptural, spiky knobs are strikingly accented with strange looking conical calcite crystals with spiky terminations. Quartz points are noted at the base of the plate and the matrix is massive sphalerite. Choice and impressive large combination material from this ancient and classic locale. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
