Item Description

The Zanett Tunnel is named after the family that owns the Grizzly Bear Mine. Specimen mining took place in the 1980s-1990s and produced some attractive Rhodochrosite specimens. The Rhodochrosite from this mine are among some of the most sought after San Juan Rhodochrosites by Colorado collectors. This specimen hosts semi-radial groups of soft pink color crystals of Rhodochrosite sitting on slight green colored Quartz crystal matrix. The green color is indicative of the Grizzly Bear Mine and is due to minor "Chlorite" content in the Quartz crystals. The large group of Rhodochrosite measures 5 mm across. A beautiful small cabinet sized specimen of this classic material. Good quality and eye-catching, and impossible to find on the market these days. From the worldwide Rhodochrosite collection of Dr. William S. Logan (Specimen #X107-4)
