Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of rhodochrosite with shigaite from Wessels!!! This specimen consists of an aesthetic
showing of lustrous, gemmy pink crystals of rhodochrosite on matrix in association with a single platy crystal of yellow-brown
shigaite!!! The rhodochrosite crystals have razor-sharp, glassy faces, gemmy clarity, and wonderful color that is almost two-tone between
bubble gum pink and reddish pink!!! The crystals are in fantastic condition and the specimen displays gorgeously!!! The matrix is a combination of darkly colored material and massive rhodochrosite and there are some scattered microcrystals of
shigaite upon close examination as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
