Description
A classic, slabbed and finely sanded but bad polished Rhodochrosite specimen with striking and beautiful banding from the famous finds at the Capillitas Mine of Argentina. The colour variations of the Rhodochrosite bands are captivating. Very little new material has been forthcoming from this mine in years. Excellent older material, from the 1960s or 1970s. I asume, a repolishing of the piece would improve it a lot and would upgrade the already quite high value as well.
