Item Description

Scintillating, gemmy, deep rose-red, rhodochrosite scalenohedrons form an exquisite, elongated, two-sided miniature from the renowned late 1970s finds at the N'Chwaning I Mine. The interior is essentially pristine on this super cutie. Ex Mervyn Ford Collection. Valued fairly at $600-750. The crystals may be tiny, but they are juicy!
