Rhodochrosite, Blue Fluorite and Quartz

Item Description

From the famous Sweet Home Mine, this combo specimen has elegant little blue fluorite decorating a quartz plate, with a sharp and isolated rhodo perched right in the middle. It is a fine crystal of good color, sharp form, and is one inch or 2.4 cm across. The obvious visual quality speaks for itself beyond this. Valued at $3500-4000 today (in part for the quality of the sharp isolation, with no damage, of a 1 inch crystal on matrix, and in part for the contrast, and in part for the aesthetics). The original price on this in 2004 was $1500 - which testifies t the sharp rise in rhodo pricing since the mine closed 2 years ago. in fact, these go up in value so much, so easily, I'd guarantee a buyback at 10% profit in a year. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
