Item Description
An exotic looking, fascinating rhodochrosite from this well-known mine, noted for excellent orpiment, enargite, hutchinsonite, and pyrite specimens. Rhodochrosite is RARE from here. Fantastic sculptural travertine-like flowstone draperies of multi-hued vivid pink to pale pink tiny rhodo disks course down the matrix plate of lustrous granular sphalerite. The piece looks great from either direction! A dramatic, outstanding and rare rhodochrosite combination plate from the W.S. Logan Collection X138-3. We valued this $750-1000
