Rhodos are obviously far rarer from Mexico than from the U.S. or Peru, and this one actually has some really nice and (for the locality) crystals on it, so is a fine example! The crystals measure up to a full centimeter in length, frosted on the sides and gemmy at the terminations. This piece comes from the George White Collection. 3.8 x 3.0 x 2.3 cm
