Item Description
Rhodonite has been coming out of this old manganese mine for 3 years now in a trickle of specimen. Rarely, though, do they come on matrix. This large COLORFUL plate features dozens of crystals to 1.25 cm. Most are broken, I should say, but some are not, and overall it is a nice field of color and a good representative study specimen from this find which will, I think, go down as one of the modern classic finds from Brazil
