Item Description

An aesthetic and fine quality display specimen of these somewhat hard to find Rhodochrosites from the Madan Ore Field in Bulgaria. Several, eye-catching, light pink colored somewhat "rose"-shaped groups of Rhodochrosite measuring up to 1.0 cm across, sit on Quartz matrix. No major damage, and very eye-catching. If you're a Rhodo collector, a good Bulgarian specimens is a must-have to round out your collection.
From the collection of Vasco Trancoso, a medical doctor and prominent mineral collector from near Lisbon, Portugal (https://www.mindat.org/user-11954.html). He assembled his mineral collection over the course of 60 years, and built a fine worldwide display collection that we recently purchased. This piece is pictured on mindat.org at https://www.mindat.org/photo-227631.html
