Item Description

A colorful and excellent combination specimen from this well-known silver and polymetallic mining district in Greece. Spherical aggregates of tiny lustrous, very pretty pastel-pink, intensely stepped-growth, rhodochrosite rhombs are richly peppered with barely visible, tiny frosted quartz points. The splendent, jet-black, twinned sphalerite crystals are a striking compliment to the light pink color. Classic and choice combination material from this locale.
