Item Description

A rarely seen specimen of Rhodochrosite from the Lone Tree Mine in Nevada, specifically from the Sequoia Pit. This piece features a handful of lustrous, 2-3 mm spheres of orange-red Rhodochrosite, along with distinct botryoidal layer, sitting on grey-black Romanecheite matrix with minor associated Baryte crystals. The Rhodochrosites have very good translucence, which accentuates the high luster even more when backlit. The color contrast, as well as the overall quality and aethetics, are choice. Excellent for this rare locality, from 1990s production.
