Beautifully polished eclogite sphere from the Roberts Victor Mine; an exceedingly rare rock type. In the words of Dr. London "As rare as eclogite is, fresh eclogite is even rarer. These spheres of eclogite from the Roberts Victor (Rovic) Mine are exceptionally fresh. The eclogite nodules from Rovic MIne contain micro-diamonds, which is also exceptional even among eclogite samples." Sphere has no faults.
