Item Description

A RARE and showy combination from this famous mine. Rich pastel-pink, sharp, sugary rhodochrosite rhombs, to 7 mm, cover the sulfide matrix and are nicely accented with rare clusters of glassy, lustrous fluorite cubes. The mostly gray transparent to translucent cubes, highlighted by the striking 8 mm cube on the side, are mostly gray, but some have areas of light purple, adding contrast. Purple fluorescence.
