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 are surrounded by dark silvery-grey color cubic Galena and micro Quartz. The largest rhomb measures 1.0 cm. 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.
