Rhodochrosite on Pyrrhotite stalactite (Stoudt Coll.)

Item Description

A unique and unusual looking combination specimen from Santa Eulalia and the Dave Stoudt Mexico Collection. Lustrous, bladed, rosettes of pastel-pink rhodochrosite nearly encircle a stalactite of platy, lustrous, rust-brown, pyrrhotite crystals! This highly unusual specimen is complete all-around and very nearly pristine, with only trivial edgewear. We have never seen anything like this weird, but very showy combination specimen
