Polished Rhodonite Standing Free Forms x 4 From Rhusinga, Zimbabwe
A NOTE FROM NICK
4 Red Rhodonite Polished Standing Free Forms . The Polish is not as good as Madagascar but the rough is this rare red colour, so they look pretty nice and are similarly priced, although the rough for the Zimbabwe material is substantially more expensive.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Rare Rhodesian Red Rhodonite From Zimbabwe
