Item Description
A classic specimen from what is almost certainly the top locality for Rhodochrosite in Japan. This historic mine has produced some iconic examples of the species, in a variety of styles. This piece hosts semi-reniform-shaped aggregates of light pinkish colored Rhodochrosite, which are coating underlying Quartz matrix. A bit of exposed Pyrite and Sphalerite can be seen on the side of the piece. No real damage that I can find, and it's a showy example of this celebrated material.
