Item Description
The Wessels Mine of South Africa has probably produced the world"s finest specimens of kutnohorite and this is an excellent and sculptural plate. The moderately lustrous, pretty pastel-pink kutnohorite with rounded form looks like a rose bud about to open. Moderate orange fluorescence.
