A fine and sculptural cabinet plate covered with sharp, highly lustrous, flesh-pink-colored dolomite rhombs and very nicely accented on the edges with brassy pyrite cubes and a bit of purple fluorite. The mounds of dolomite rhombs give the piece excellent 3-dimensionality. Dolomite crystals of this size and quality are uncommon from the well-known Shangbao Mine.
