RHODOCHROSITE

Capillitas Mine, Catamarca Province, Argentina

RHODOCHROSITE, Capillitas Mine, Catamarca Province, Argentina.  The most unusually treated stalactitic mass of rhodochrosite that I have seen. Instead of making many complete cross-sectional slices as is customary, this adventurous lapidary drilled six shallow, circular holes from 1-1/4x1 to 2-1/4x1-1/2 inches into the mass, polished them and produced a very special work-of-art.  4-1/2x4-1/2x3-1/4.  $5,000.
