Item Description
Lovely cluster of gemmy, highly lustrous Rhodochrosites from the famous Wessels Mine in South Africa. The crystals are about .8 cm across, and have a lovely cherry-pink color. You will not often see Rhodos from this region as gemmy, or as lustrous. PICS DO NOT DO IT JUSTICE, this is a killer thumbnail worthy of even an African specialist like Charlie keeping in his thumbnail collection for decades.
