00 14atcsnl ((RHODONITE)) $20 MINIMUM BID, Chiurucu Mine, Dos de Mayo Province, Huanuco Department, Peru, 3.5 x 3 x 2.5 cm, Miniature | |
There were three finds of Rhodonite in Peru at this famous locality. This looks like a specimen, with the darker and heavier crystals, from the first find which I believe was in the 1970's. I may be off on the date. I bought one which is the same size and similar in the late 1990's from Blue Sky Mining in Denver for $85 at that time. ex Carolyn Seitz collection. |
