| 9ecmsrs ((RHODOCHROSITE, FLUORITE)), $95 MINIMUM BID, Wudong Mine, Liubao, Wushou Prefecture, Guangxi Zhuang A R, China, 6 x 5 x 3.5 cm, Miniature | |
 | A new large lot of fine Chinese Rhodochrosite was found prior to Tuscon this year. These are similiar but still a totally different type of specimen than the Colorado Sweet home Rhodochrosites. Fortunately a much less price than the Colorado Rhodochrosite. These are very hard to tell a natural face from a cleaved face. The back and back and two side areas are sawn. This is almost solid Rhodochrosite with only small area on the back having Pyrite. The vug like front has better defined Rhodochrosite rhombs and an area of cubic Fluorite. The Fluorite light purple near the surface and light green beneath the purple. |
