Quartz on Rhodochrosite with minor Selenite Zacatecas, Mun. de Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico 5.32cm x 4cm x 2.23cm Ex. Richard Hauck Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A wonderfully aesthetic example of rhodochrosite and quartz from Mexico!!! This specimen consists of a showy cluster of complex, bubble gum pink rhodochrosite crystals that has been coated by brilliantly lustrous quartz points - resulting in a very lively and aesthetic specimen!!! The quartz crystals are somewhat blocky and have razor-sharp, highly lustrous faces!!! The quartz crystals have very gemmy clarity and have a very slight amethystine purple hue!!! The rhodochrosite crystals themselves are quite lustrous - almost pearlescent, consisting of curvaceous saddle-shaped crystals!!! The rhodochrosite crystals can be seen right through the water clear quartz crystals in many cases!!! In addition to the rhodochrosite and quartz, there is also a small, complex crystal of gemmy selenite in association as well!!! A dramatic and showy specimen, the pics don't even come close to capturing just how dynamic it is in person!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
