Item Description
Multi-generational Rhodochrosite coated nearly completely by Caryopolite. The original Rhodochrosite is gemmy microcrystals completely coating the pocket, then followed by large (up to .4 cm) gemmy Rhodocrosite crystals of unusual prismatic habit. The micro Caryopolite coating is exceptionally rich. A very good specimen of excellent quality for this rare species.
