Item Description

A good association specimen from this world-class locality. A sharp, 8 mm, translucent, red-pink color rhombohedron of Rhodochrosite associated with a few purple and white color cuboctahedral crystals of Fluorite up to 5 mm on sulfide matrix. These specimens have sky-rocketed in value since the mine closed, and the specimens from this mine are certainly among the finest quality Rhodochrosite crystals in the world.
