• Lot Description
  Desert Rose (Selenite Rosette) – A sculptural cluster of radiating, bladed selenite crystals forming classic rose-like rosettes in warm beige and sand-toned hues. The specimen displays crisp petal edges and natural surface frosting characteristic of gypsum formed in arid evaporative environments, 3-3/4"H x 5"W x 3"D. <br> Rhodochrosite & Pyrite Polished Freeform – A polished ornamental piece revealing vivid pink rhodochrosite banding alongside dark metallic pyrite and manganese oxide. Flowing concentric patterns and brassy pyrite highlights create a dramatic, landscape-like contrast across the smoothly finished surface, 2-1/2"H. <br> Vanadinite on Black Matrix – A striking miniature featuring deep red, lustrous hexagonal vanadinite crystals scattered across a dark, fine-grained host rock. The vivid crystal faces offer strong color saturation and visual contrast against the textured matrix, 2-1/4" x 2-1/8".
