A DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS, two-sided combination specimen from Cavnic, Romania. An aesthetic, divergent spray of glassy, milky quartz crystals to 3.5 cm jauntily rests atop a massive rhodochrosite crust covered with vibrant, pink, tiny, flattened rhodchrosite rhombs. A second generation of tiny, snow-white needle quartz crystals stunningly coats the rhodochrosite and large quartz crystals. The needle quartz band on rhodo is dramatic. This SUPERB and showy specimen is pristine. We have heard that the famous mines of Maramures County may close soon. Ex. Brent Lockhart Collection.
