Description

Here is a very nice combination of Rhodochrosite, stilbite and Quartz from Ural in Russia. It is a pretty big piece of 830 grams.

It is covered with tiny pink Rhodochrosite crystals, and some tiny brown Stilbite crystals, in addition to transparent Quartz crystals. Please watch the video to see it better (click video tab above).

It looks even better when highlighted (see the last picture), but the video and all other pictures are taken in normal indoor daylight.

I don't have any information about the piece except that it is an old price label attached to it, telling it is from Ural (not sure what currency it's written in). My father drove to Russia a couple of time about 20-30 years ago, and I assume he bought this piece back then.
