Emma Mine (Ancient Mine; Black Chief Mine), Butte, Butte District, Silver Bow Co., Montana, USA
Small Cabinet, 5.5 x 3.4 x 1.9 cm
SOLD
A beautiful plate aesthetically covered with sharp, translucent, rose-red rhodochrosite rhombs to 1.6 cm on quartz-rich matrix from Butte, Montana. The edges and sides of the rhodo rhombs are slightly gemmier, as you can see. A neat feature. All of the major rhodos are pristine on this very showy and excellent specimen, most likely from the famous Emma Mine. CLASSIC, OLD-TIME material from the John Ydren Collection.
