A rare rhodo ball from the famous find of the late 1980s that produced just a few of these! This one is 2 cm across, nicely centered on stark contrasting manganite ore matrix. It is slightly dimpled by a natural contact on the bottom, but still complete. And very 3-dimensional! Note the tiny sharp manganite CRYSTALS on the ball itself!
