Rhodonite with Galena$2,000.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
Another red mineral from North Mine at Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia, which rather surprisingly forms fine crystals in a Galena matrix, is Rhodonite. Specimens with this wonderful combination are always pleasing but, as we always endeavour, this small miniature is a total showstopper and never has there been a better example of 'small but sweet'. A single, thick-set tabular Rhodonite crystal measuring 2.4 x 2.3 x 1.3 cm stands at 45 degrees in a small matrix of silver Galena with a bright metallic lustre. The Rhodonite is translucent cherry-red and back-lit, glows warm-rich cherry, illuminated against and contrasting with the opaque metallic matrix. If this were not enough, nature has chosen to liberally sprinkle micro-crystals of burnt cinnamon-toffee Spessartine Garnets over the matrix and one face of the Rhodonite. It is simply a delight and will have you reaching for the napkins to mop away those drools!
