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.
