Item Description
Sharp, pretty, pastel-pink, rhodochrosite rhombs to 1.6 cm across richly and attractively fill a curved vug on this very fine, highly desirable specimen from the famous Emma Mine at Butte. The sparkly chalcopyrite microcrystal clusters peppered about are a super and characteristic accent. Classic, excellent and old-time material from the Robert Whitmore Collection. Valued at $400-600 for quality and richness of crystallization.
