Fluorite on Rhodochrosite (M157)
Wutong is an industrial mine, operatings since 1958 and produce lead, zinc and silver. The Rhodochrosites from the locality are the best ones of entire Asia. The particular specimen consists of two pink-red flattened rhodochrosite crystals. They are well shaped with satiny luster and in very good color for the locality. What makes this piece special is the combination with stepped Fluorite crystals - they consist of hundreds of tiny stepped faces, all of them sharp terminated. A very fine contrast and also a more rare combination. The specimen was in the famous collection of Robert Brandstätter and will come with his personal label.
