Item Description

An attractive miniature specimen consisting of pink color rhombohedra of Rhodochrosite up to 1.6 cm, which are coated by small, "stubby", translucent Quartz crystals on matrix. A very cool effect is created by the Quartz overlaying the Rhodo rhombs, reminiscent of the Quartz coated Wulfenite crystals from the Finch Mine in Arizona.
