Description

Here is a super sharply crystallized, very highly lustrous crystal of rhodonite from the famous locality, which has produced the best for the species. The crystal is doubly terminated and has superb deep red color even with normal light. There is some galena cleaved crystals on it, as it was removed from such matrix. There are two dings on the crystal, but still this is a great piece for the species!
