Item Description
A large, juicy rhodochrosite rhomb with excellent, cherry-red color and luster from recent Chinese finds. The quality of Chinese rhodos seems to be gettting better all the time. This large crystal is nicely accented by a bit of quartz and rests on smaller crystals. Displayable from either side. Some of the faces may be cleavages, its hard to tell. This LARGE crystal is highly representative of the species and locale.
