Description

An old-time classic combination piece from Broken Hill:  Rhodonite in galena.  These were mined in the 1960's, and are now only ever found in old collections, such as this one.

This is a fairly decent example and quite large too.  

The first 6 pictures are taken under white LED lighting, the remaining 2 are with LED backlighting.

Ex. Donald Stockton (1929 - 2016) Collection, with his old label and a simple original handwritten card label.
