Rhodochrosite

Item Description

Gemmy and lustrous, light cherry-red rhodochrosite scalenohedrons richly and aesthetically fill an elongated vug in massive sulfide matrix on this showy and excellent example from this well-known locale. Crystals reach 1.0 cm and some are doubly terminated. The few cleaved crystals in the interior and modest periphery wear are certainly only minimal detractions on this fine example. The base has been sawed to enhance the considerable display quality.
