Description

Incredibly gemmy and glassy, intense cherry-red Rhodochrosite scalenhedrons on matrix. The gemminess and intense red color saturation just explode into yours eyes. Few rhodos from anywhere have this amazing color intensity and gemminess. Here you see bundles of excellent defined, sahrp and mirror bright Rhodos in splendid condition. All major crystals and also the specimens center are absolutely intact. This is a super aesthetic specimen from the great find at the end of the 1970ies. Just superb.
