Mineral Specimens from Japan
Mineral specimens from Japan tend to be very difficult to obtain on today's
market. When found they are always expensive if in quality specimens.
We seldom have Japanese specimens to offer but when we do they go very quickly.
Especially, classics such as their stibnites or rhodochrosites. They
usually come from our purchase of older collections.
OKF-203 Rhodochrosite on Marcasite Oppu Mine, Aomoriken, Honshu Prov.,
Japan. Ex Nancy Collins collection. Specimens don't get much more desirable
than this one. The piece measures 9.4 x 6.5 x 4.7 cm and is almost entirely
solid pyrite. On the pyrite are mounds of low luster pink rhodochrosite. Much
of the lower sections of the specimen, its base, are also mineralized. One
small chip a pirate is missing it is certainly not distracting to any of its
views. This piece sits in displays wonderfully. An important piece from a
desirable location. Price on request.
