Item Description
Top-notch combination piece of Rhodochrosite, Pyrite, Quartz, and Barite from the famous Huaron Mines in Peru. The Rhodochrosite is exceptional. The bright pink blades form small balls up to about .5 cm, and these balls then form larger clusters up to about 1.7 cm. These eye-catching Rhodos rest on fine Quartz needles, and are nestled among numerous lustrous, modifed Pyrite cubes that range up to .4 cm. The white Barite balls are spread thoughout.
