Item Description

A choice piece from the famous Hedgehog Pocket (known for its quartz associations) with sharp rhodochrosites to 1 cm, and little quartzes poking out between them. The luster and color is high, and even more importantly the translucency/transparency of the crystals is good. Most thodos you see for sale today on the market are semi-opaque, barely translucent reminders of the quality that once came out. This, however, is really a classy small cab with a good balance of qualities. And, as it is richly covered, you get a lot of color for the $$$. Valued $3000-3500
