Item Description
An unusually sculptural and artistic combination from this mine. 3-dimensional clusters of flattened, saddle-shaped, pastel-pink, rhodochrosite rhombs are beautifuly accented with preferentially placed clusters of tiny, brassy, pyritohedrons. The back side reveals, that the rhodos covered a dense bed of quartz points. Excellent combination material from this less well-known mine from the Art Soregaroli Collection.
