The two truly great Rhodochrosite localities in the world are N'Chwaning and the Sweet Home Mine. This magnificent specimen is certainly one of the finest you will find from N'Chwaning. There are well over a dozen crystals in this cluster, each with rich cherry-red color, beautiful crystal form, and superb luster. You can search the world over, and rarely will you find a Rhodo specimen of this beauty and quality. This is a supreme thumbnail, and comparable to any Rhodo specimen of any size. 2.5 x 2.4 x 2.2 cm
