WOW! Sharp rhodochrosite crystals on needle quartz matrix, flanked by fine tetraedrite and pyrite crystals! The two main rhodochrosites measure 3.1 and 3.0 cm across and show a brilliant luster and deep colour saturation. This can easily be a centerpiece for every small cabinet sized collection - it has truly great composition and visual impact! Price on request.
