Item Description
A very impressive CABINET plate richly covered with gemmy and lustrous, cherry-red rhodonite prisms from Broken Hill. Rhodonite is certainly a Holy Grail species from this famed locale and this is a very good, large one. The large crystal on the corner is 3.2 cm! Yes, there are broken and damaged crystals (including the two largest), but, yes, there are also MANY undamaged crystals. Seldom will you see a specimen of this size and richness offered for sale, in any venue. Ex Larry Krause Collection. Valued at $1000 and worth it.
