Rob: A super-colorful plate of Sweet Home mine rhodos, featuring a dozen good crystals ranging to 2.2 cm across. The color is CHERRY and the lustre is very good on these crystals. The clarity of the crystals from this pocket is rated highly, and the crystals are transparent to translucent but edging more on the side of the former. ----- Photos courtesy of / ©2004 The Arkenstone
