This awesome, large miniature is one of my favorites of this bunch. Truly a wonderful and stark contrast of Rhodochrosite & Tetrahedrite. The top side features 3 wonderful rhombs...two of which have a tabular look. The main crystal, which is partially embedded within the Tetrahedrite is huge! If this crystal was sitting by itself on top, the specimen would easily be double in price! And yet, the effect is still amazing!!! A close up view shows some tiny Quartz crystals, as well as some pyrite. The top side crystals are very transparent, gemmy, mirror-like-glassy, and has more of the "cherry" colored red that is desirable in this species.

This small cabinet, is yet another very attractive, and colorful specimen. Featuring several perfect, and beautifully colored rhombs scattered on a bed of Quartz crystals, with a scattering of smaller Tetrahedrite crystals. the larger rhomb has a slight "frosting" on the top side, which is associated with different temperature changes during the cooling process during formation.

PLEASE
NOTE: All of the photographs are not to scale. Some are enlarged to
give you an accurate and an in depth view of all the details for you
to see. Please always refer to specimen size in all my listings for
the actual size, as this is what the final price is based on. Although
picture colors can vary slightly from browsers to computers, I go to
great lengths in photographing all mineral specimens with complete color
accuracy, without any retouching whatsoever! My photo studio lighting
consists of 4800K fluorescent lighting, which simulates the wavelengths
of daylight. In some cases for a different effect I have utilized regular
incandescent lighting to provide a different effect. If a specimen has
knowingly been repaired, I will always disclose this information to
you. |
