Item Description
Gorgeous radial spray of elongate Natrolite, on a matrix composed of Rhodonite, Natrolite, and country rock. The Natrolite has a beautiful, pearly luster, lovely habit, and crystals up to 2.7 cm long. This is outstanding and rare for this famoue mine! The Rhodonite is in deep pink grains up to about .5 cm, and spread throughout the specimen. Rhodonite, for some reason, is also very uncommon even in the rich Kalahari Manganese Field. The colors compliment each other nicely, and the Natrolite is dazzling and very aesthetic. ex Charlie Key Collection.
