Cavnic Mine (Kapnik), Cavnic (Kapnic; Kapnik), Maramures Co., Romania
Size: 5.1 x 3.1 x 1.8 cm
A true and absolutely thought-after European classic. A cluster of bright pink rhodochrosite crystals with an overgrowth of sparkly white quartz points. This specimen is a typical example of what made Romanian minerals so attractive to the collectors and what brought up the fame of the Cavnic mine itself. Ex Alfred Haas coll.
