Item Description

Scintillating, rare, rose-red, gem, rhodochrosite rhombs are very aesthetically clustered atop matrix on this classic and excellent specimen from the 1970s finds at Santa Eulalia. The quality of these rhombs are top-flight and they are all pristine. Small crystals, but so cute and gemmy. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. Howard started as a mineral dealer at age 13 in 1972, became a sophisticated dealer and died tragically at age 28 in 1987. His collection recently became available to us through his family.
