Item Description
These distinctive and eye-catching Chinese Rhodos have appeared on the market a few years ago, and seem to have dried up now. This piece features sharp, GEMMY, lustrous, reddish-pink, rhomobohedra of Rhodochrosite up to 1.3 cm associated with bright golden Pyrite crystals on the reverse side. You really don't see many of these new Rhodos from Wutong available, so don't pass this one up because the locality has produced little to nothing in the way of specimens in recent years.
