Rhodochrosite
N'Chwaning Mines, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
Miniature, 3.8 x 2.9 x 2.3 cm
SOLD
This rhodo has top cherry color and striking gemminess, as well as high luster. This is one of the finest miniatures of this style I have seen for sale recently, as it has not the usual dings and cleavages many of them are cursed by. It has only one small cleave on a side crystal, whereas most such clusters have numerous cleaves to many points. Also, it is superbly balanced, like a flower, and has incredibly aesthetic display in person. 3.8 x 2.9 x 2.3 cm
