A gorgeous beauty of gemmy rhodochrosite crystals sitting aesthetically at the tips of quartz needles from the famous Sweet Home Mine, Alma, Colorado, USA. This is an old specimen. It displays transparent and clear rhodochrosite crystals. They have an intense and incredibly rich cherry-red color. The crystals are perfect with sharp rhombohedral shape. The faces have good luster. The quality is outstanding - superb color and clarity so the crystals just glow. The deposit has produced these treasures long time ago and pieces like this have always been scarce. It displays beautifully all over 360 degree. In excellent condition – some minor nicks and small imperfections. On acrylic base.
Exceptional!
