Item Description
A beautiful and unusual rhodochrosite specimen from the famous Uchucchacua Mine of Peru. Gemmy and lustrous, rose-red, rhodo rhombs have unusual, very distinctive, stepped-growth faces. The quartz association is very uncommon, as most rhodos are on sulide matrix from this noted locale. Striking material.
