A KILLER miniature in almost pristine condition (or as near as you can ask for in one of these beasts anyhow), with GLASSY luster, DEEP RED CHERRY COLOR, and sharp scalenohedral crystals to one inch in length! Found in the late 1970s (1978-1979) and not of this quality since... This piece is so flashy, so bright, and so colorful that it stands out as one of the best miniature-sized N'Chwaning rhodos I have seen for sale in years. It is of the classic, most desired habit for the finds, as well. 4.7 x 2.6 x 2.6 cm
