Item Description

Scintillating nubby spherical aggregates of tiny pretty pastel-pink rhodochrosite rhombs fill a sculptural small cabinet vug in gossan matrix. This very rich and showy specimen from a limited 2015 find at the N'Chwaning III Mine. Rhodochrosite is RARE from the newest N'Chwaning mine, which became fully operational in 2006. This is a rare, rich, excellent and typical habit of rhodochrosite from the N'Chwaning III Mine. Very seldom on the market and excellent rhodo we recently obtained in a small lot.
