Item Description
Riveting, neon-pink/red color makes this one of the most colorful species around, but good specimens are rare and dated to the 1970s and 80s. This is an extremely fine specimen of the material, with 3-dimensional knobs of the botryoids. Except for a few trivial bits of wear, it is complete all around 360-degrees. IN person, the color is actually EVEN MORE VIBRANT a hot NEON PINK-RED HUE than it appears here. Ex Jaime Bird Collection. One so seldom sees these for sale in any quality, let alone this ridiculous, fake-looking color, that I have to explicitly say I value this very highly but really have no comparables.
