N'Chwaning Mine, Kuruman, South Africa, from the famed African find, this fine and richly crystallized cluster of scalenohedral rhodochrosite shows the intensely saturated red hue and bright transparency so sought after from this classic locality made more compelling due to the separate "sprays" in opposing directions adding another dimension to the aesthetics. Accompanied by a custom made lucite base. 6.40 x 5.10 cm.
