Catamarca, Argentina The value of this piece as a natural history object is complemented by its unique beauty. This is a natural, unrepaired cross-section slice of a huge rhodochrosite stalactite, grown together to form these beautiful conjoined concentric patterns. It is very difficult to obtain large examples today on the market. This plate is one of a small batch of the best quality that came out in the early 1980s, never to be surpassed. The difficulty of removing and then slabbing and polishing such a large segment, complete on all sides and without damage, cannot be underestimated, measures 11 ½ x 9 ½ x ¼ in
