Description

Rhodochrosite with Fluorite and Quartz from well know locality Wutong Mine, Liubao, Cangwu Co., Wuzhou, Guangxi, China.

A brilliant combo consisting of a base which is a large growth of rock crystal and on it scattered fluorite crystals of extraordinary transparency, one could even say transparent, thanks to which we can observe this wonderful phantom inside.

The whole thing is sprinkled with intensely pink rhodochrosite flakes, creating a wonderful work of nature and at the same time an attractive and desirable collector's item that no collector would be ashamed of.

 

It is a beautiful specimen with a beautiful luster, shining extremely intensely inside the display case, thanks to the fluorite with a perfect luster and hundreds of miniature rock crystals that reflect light like a diamond.
