By far, the largest of these intriguing gems we have ever offered; indeed with the quality of the gem rough and the fine overall aesthetic this is surely a museum grade example. At the most basic level these are wonderful objects as the shape has such significance; the rhombohedron is the classic mineral habit for Rhodochrosite, so this is essentially a polished crystal. The color is magnificent - if you think a 1 carat stone has a great color, just wait until you have a 40+ carat ‘chunk’ in-hand. A great way to appreciate the outstanding color of this gem material and simply beautiful.
