What a beautiful cluster of rhodochrosite crystals from the pocket named after the geologist that opened it! The deep red of these rhombohedrons are extremely pleasing and aesthetic, the back/matrix consists mostly of sphalerite that fluoresces orange under UV light, with a few little fluorite crystals gracing the edges. Sure to stand out in your case! Photo by Invenio Fine Minerals.
