An exceedingly large and rare gel Rhodochrosite from Honshu Island, Japan. The largest one we have had the pleasure of offering. This material was mined out many years ago and what is available today comes from old collections. We were fortunate to come across a small collection and will be offering them in future auctions. Japanese Rhodochrosite gets its color from its manganese content
Worthy of any collection of fine gemstones and cabochons
20.250 carats / 18.4 x 14.1 x 7.5 mm
Estimate: $800 - $850
