Rhodochrosite on tetrahedrite, 12.7 cm, from the Good Luck Pocket, Sweet Home mine, Park County, Colorado. No repairs or restorations. In 1998, Gene Meieran and other investors in the original Sweet Home mining venture had the option to make offers on the best rhodochrosite specimens before they were sold. Gene won the coin toss for this piece and still has the penny he used. Photo by Beth Van Allen, courtesy of The Arkenstone.
