Thumbnail, 3.1 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm
SOLD
This is another choice thumbnail of gemmy rhodo from N'Chwaning. One can read right thru the crystals. With most such specimens, the tips are damaged slightly but it goes with the territory - at least here, though, 2 of the 3 main crystals are perfect and the third has only a slight cleave that really is not too noticeable. They are top cherry-red in color, too. Found in the late 1970s (1978-1979) and not of this quality since... 3.1 x 1.5 x 1.5 cm
