8.5 x 6.2 x 4.7 cm. A striking and excellent cluster of well-defined, highly lustrous, vivid pink, flat prismatic, rhodonite blades from the well-known 1998 find at the Chiurucu Mine of Peru. The rhodonites are richly and preferentially dusted with quartz micro-needles which adds a nice sparkle to this beautiful piece. Ex. Brent Lockhart Collection.
