And I agree with Philippe concerning the rhodo: Really good rhodochrosites are hard to get, no matter from what locality. And having several (!) Oppu Mine (!) rhodos in such good quality must be a pleasure, you are really lucky to own such pieces :-) |
Thanks Tobi! It is a challenge collecting rhodochrosite especially pieces from Japan.
