Item Description
A classic Rhodochrosite specimen from arguably the most famous locality for the species. This features gemmy, pink color rhombohedra of Rhodochrosite up to 6 mm that are intermixed with white/colorless "needle" Quartz with minor sulfides. These specimens have sky-rocketed in value since the mine closed, and the specimens from the Sweet Home are certainly among the finest quality Rhodochrosite crystals in the world.
