Rhodonite
Unknown Owner
Recently, a small trickle of incredible rhodonites have come out of this old manganese mine in Brazil, now undergoing much more exploration for specimen potential. They compare favorably to, and in fact are better than most, rhodonites from the classic older locality of Broken Hill. Although the crystal habit is different than those from Broken Hill, for the first time in 60 years or more we have again some rhodonite crystals of size and gemminess. This is a cleavage specimen and not a complete crystal. Weighs 206 grams.
