Item Description

A gorgeous, 1.5 cm, doubly terminated, gemmy cherry-red rhodochrosite scalenohedron with light frosted faces is aesthetically set in a black sulfide-lined vug peppered with scintillating, jewel-like, tiny water-clear quartz points. This combination in this quality is very uncommon from the finds at the famous Uchucchacua. The sparkly quartz points really accent the rhodo beautifully! A super miniature.
