Item Description

Curved, lustrous, vivid pink, rhodochrosite rhombs cover all sides of this sculptural, 3-dimensional small cabinet from this obscure Bulgarian locale. The rhombs reach about 4 mm and the scattered patches of small quartz points on both sides are a nice contrast and accessory. Ex W.S. Logan Collection # X29-7 and illustrated in Bill's 2013 self-published book, Rhodchrosite - Crystals of Drama and Nuance, on Page 133. The specimen was mined in 1997 according to the accompanying Ross Lillie label. Specimens are very seldom on the market.
