Item Description
Glassy, translucent, pretty rose-red, rhodochrosite rhombs form a showy and excellent thumbnail from the famous late 1970s - early 80s finds at Pasto Bueno. The crystals are color-zoned and the large rhomb has the typically gemmier edges. Highly representative of the find and locality. Seldom on the market. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!
