Item Description

The Sunnyside mine has produced some very well known Rhodochrosite specimens in its history. This piece has some very attractive, pink colored Rhodochrosite rhombs which have a micro overgrowth of sparkling Quartz crystals which are surrounded by dark silvery-grey color cubic Galena. The association and color contrast make it a worthwhile specimen of this hard to find and often highly sought after material. A nice specimen for any collector of Rhodochrosites or pieces from Colorado.
