Item Description
The famous Wessels mine is known for many minerals, including Kutnahorite and Rhodochrosite. Combine the two into a pseudomorph, Rhodochrosite after Kutnahorite, and you have an attractive and unusual specimen that has very good aesthetics. The main crystal is a 1.5 cm fan, surrounded by smaller .3 cm rice grain Rhodochrosite. I have seen very few like this
