Rhodochrosite With Fluorite and Apatite
Fluorite Raise, Sweet Home Mine, Alma, Park County, Colorado
Small Cabinet, 8.5 x 6.0 x 4.1 cm
SOLD
This specimen comes from a unique pocket hit in the late 1990s, featuring small hexagonal APATITES perched on the rhodochrosite, with a bonus of little jewel-like cubic purple fluorites for accent. The three larger crystals reach 2 cm across, and have very good cherry-red color, not the more commonly seen (today) pale, partially-ripe strawberry hue. This specimen has been in a private collection for some time and was recently given to me for sale. I believe their asking price to be very fair in light of recent prices I have seen on specimens remaining with the former miner as they also are buying back specimens in the marketplace for resale now. Comes with custom lucite base. NOTE: I am selling this for a friend and I think he low-balled the price. This is, I feel, a pretty good deal...
