Description

An attractive rhodonite on matrix from Sweden. Rhodonite is generally uncommon, and specimens of this quality are rarely encountered on the market. This piece shows well-developed rhodonite crystals embedded in matrix, displaying a rich pink to red coloration with good contrast against the host rock. A visually appealing and increasingly hard-to-find specimen, well suited for collectors of rare Scandinavian minerals.
