Item Description

Pearlescent, sharp, pleasing pastel-pink, dolomite rhombs, to 2.1 cm on the diagonal, are aesthetically clustered on the front of the narrow quartz point rib on this exceptional and rare combination from this famous Chinese mine. The single dolomite on the back is a super bonus to this very aesthetic piece. Specimens of this rare dolomite and quartz combination, without fluorite, came out in the mid-2000s. All of the dolomites are pristine.
