Rhodochrosite with Quartz

Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, pretty rose-red, rhodochrosite rhombs to 1.2 cm on the diagonal are surrounded by needle quartz crystals on this showy and excellent miniature from the famous and now-closed Sweet Home Mine. Classic, representative combination material from this renowned locale. We got a small stash of older pieces to toss in the auctions, but normally this would not be possible with such items as rhodos sell so well, otherwise.
