Item Description
A nifty and showy combination miniature from the Alpine-type deposits at Alchuri. Reticulated clusters of wine-red rutile needles are attractively scattered on the intergrown cluster of very glassy, transparent to translucent, colorless, hexagonal apatite crystals. A single, partialy etched siderite rhomb is a nice accent. Highly representative and uncommon material from the Bob Trimingham Collection.,
