Item Details
Description
Locality: Huanggang Mines, Keshikteng, Inner Mongolia, China. Size Class: Large Cabinet. Collection: Private. This is a modern-day classic, from finds three years ago in the iron mines of Inner Mongolia. The find is done and gone, and no more are available on the market today. While many came out, reportedly few were of this size and stature. It is 17 pounds, and complete around the front and three sides (contacted on the back). We are aware of others, much smaller, which have sold at premiums. The piece is a rich pink color, and glows when back lit. As a bonus, it fluoresces a hot red-orange color due to manganese inclusions, when under ultraviolet light. It weighs in at a whopping 17 pounds - no lightweight! This specimen comes with a custom display base. Consigned from a private collection. Size 25.0 x 19.0 x 17.5 cm.
