Description

Here we have an outstanding high quality N´Chwaning Rhodo of best colour and luster. Blood-red, scalenohedral crystals of Rhodochrosite, such as this specimen, are the defining character of the Kalahari Manganese Fields and for the species worldwide. The eye gravitates to the well-formed, gemmy crystals and their vibrant red colour. Only one almost invisible cleavage among the otherwise perfect crystals. N´Chwaning Mine Rhodochrosites have a well deserved distinction among collectors and were found only in a few-year period in the late 1970s. They remain a classic among collectors and are represent some the most beautiful mineral specimens you can own. This specimen is a fantastic example. The cherry red colour, not too light and not too dark, will blast you away. This is a stunningly aesthetic specimen for highest demands and comes with a high quality acrylic base.
