Description

Rich and colorful vein of tabular rhombs of salmon pink rhodochrosite associated to white elongated quartz crystals. Medium lustre for both species and very minimal damage. Very minimal peripheral wear as you can see from the pictures.

The specimen code is on a speck of rock which has detached from the overall specimen, and I will ship it along with the label as well.

This is a rare oldtimer from the famous collection Adrian (UK), which went for sale a few years ago. I was lucky enough to get ahold of it.
