Item Description
A classic, glassy and translucent, cherry-red, rhodochrosite rhomb from the Sweet Home Mine. The blebs of sulfides and the bit of matrix are a nice accent. The deep red color on this rhomb is quite rich. Four of the six faces on this rhomb appear to be cleaved. Regardless, this is a highly representative thumbnail crystal with excellent color and luster from this renowned and closed locale,
