Description

Rhodochrosite from Bulgaria is really shought after and really difficult to find since any new find has been discovered for many years!This piece,unlike most,has great relief,with the aggregates of rhodochrosite been on a bed of lustrous,gemmy,pineapple habit quartz points!In areas,there is a distance between the aggregates and the matrix,so the rhodochrosite looks like pink foam on the quartz,which here and there penetrated the balls and show up ont the surface!No damage on this great piece!
