Rhodonite in Galena$3,000.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
This fine miniature Rhodonite is from the famous Broken Hill Proprietary mine, New South Wales, Australia. It features a significant, 2.9 cm long, blocky, triclinic Rhodonite crystal standing proud of a Galena matrix. The Rhodonite crystal is a rich raspberry red colour and has a complete, undamaged termination, but with rounded tips. The prism edges are quite sharp and the internal fracturing is typical of all specimens from Broken Hill mine. Several cream coloured crystals visible on the back of the specimen are unidentified, but possibly Bustamite. All told, this is an extremely noteworthy Rhodonite crystal, large and very well-formed and perfectly balanced as a display quality miniature specimen. From the superb systematic collection assembled by brothers Martin and Michael Günther (1951-2007 & 1956-2021).
