Rhodochrosite twinned crystal (Charlie Key Coll.)

Item Description

A dramatic, sculptural and uniquely different rhodochrosite from Mont Saint-Hilaire. These odd flattened "trigonal" twinned crystals look like macle or contact twins! These are not typical rhombs from the Poudrette, Sweet Home Mine, other Colorado localities, Peru or the classic dogtooth spikes from the Kalahari! The sharp, lustrous, translucent, brownish-red crystal GLOWS orange-red, when back lit! These were collected from a single pocket in the late 1970s, with none since. Classic, singular style and excellent Poudrette rhodo from the Charlie Key Collection.
