Item Description
A striking and excellent cluster of well-defined, highly lustrus, vivid pink, flat prismatic, rhodonite blades from recent finds at the San Martin Mine of Peru. The rhodonites are richly dusted with quartz micro-needles, which adds a nice sparkle to this beautiful piece. Little, if any damage to this very fine piece, which is one of the best in this size range that I have seen from the 1998 find. Valued at $1200-1500
