Description
This is a SIGNIFICANT rhodochrosite from China, and one of the largest single "lobster tails" as the Chinese miners called them at the time. Isolated crystals like this, a floater no less - were extremely rare! This is in excellent condition and literally glows when backlit, for a rich cherry-red color on the shelf. The specimen is a floater - complete all around with no point of attachment. Showy and dramatic! This dates from 2010 or so, and no more this quality have been found since. it is, for the size range, and without repair and restoration, hard to surpass for a Chinese rhodochrosite. These are modern classics, and hard to obtain today. Comes with custom lucite base.

Fluorite from China Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
