Item Description

Sunnyside Mine rhodochrosites are a desirable Colorado classic. This showy and excellent specimen features intergrown sharp, lustrous, translucent, pastel-pink rhombs on an undulating rhodochrosite crust. The trivial periphery wear is certainly not a detraction to this fine piece. Highly representative material from this classic mine. A 2011 Lithographie issue is devoted entirely to minerals of the San Juans. Ex Gerald Herfurth Collection
