Rhodochrosite

Item Description

An attractive group of gemmy, reddish orange scalenohedra of Rhodochrosite creating a small but beautiful thumbnail specimen. Despite the smaller size, this is a very colorful specimen from one of the premier Rhodo locales in the world. This area is long defunct, and will not produce any more specimens of this these amazing Rhodos. These are amongst the most popular specimens for collectors today. Many people regard N'Chwaning Rhodos as the finest color specimens for the species, as they are more of an intense red in person than virtually anything from the Sweet Home Mine in Colorado.
