Item Description

Rhodochrosite pseudomorphs after barite specimens are uncommon from this Pervian mine. Intensely sparkly tiny quartz points coat the pastel-pink rhodochrosite, that has pseudomorphed the tabular barite crystals. This is a very showy and doubly uncommon miniature combination from the Manuelita Mine.
