21313: Rhodochrosite Box Stone Source: Argentina Rhod

Rhodochrosite Box Stone Source: Argentina Rhodochrosite has long been prized as a mineral for its lovely pinkish-red coloration. This large box has been beautifully crafted from this spectacular material and features "stalactitic" white banding, which has been book-matched along all sides. The hinged lid reveals a contrasting white mineral interior. There is slight damage to one corner of the lid, but it has been stabilized. The box is finished with a gold-plated brass hinge and felt feet. This box is uniquely one-of-a-kind for its substantial size and exceptional beauty.
