Absolutely gorgeous gem Rhodochrosite crystal from the famous NChwaning Mines, South Africa. It comes from the collection of Carlos Prieto, Madrid, Spain with a label. It displays completely transparent, clear and gem Rhodochrosite crystal of 28mm. It has intense and incredibly rich red color. The crystal is perfect with sharp shape and edges. The faces have excellent luster. Three small bevels are more matt. The quality is outstanding - superb color and clarity so the crystal just glows. The deposit has produced these treasures long time ago and pieces like this have always been scarce. The quality rivals the Sweet Home Mine Rhodochrosites. In very good condition – some base part contacts and micro defects. On acrylic base.
Killer beauty!
