Item Description

This piece is a fine quality association specimen featuring a few sharp, gemmy, pinkish-red colored rhombs of Rhodochrosite measuring up to 5 mm which are associated with a soft lilac colored Fluorite cube measuring 4 mm sitting on "needle" Quartz crystals on matrix.  A tiny bit of purple Apatite (which fluoresces a yellow-orange color) can be seen on the piece as well.   This combination of Rhodochrosite with Fluorite is not terribly common, but very desirable. Good quality all around, though there is a minor imperfection on the base of the Fluorite cube.
