The quality of Chinese rhodochrosite from the Wudong Mine keeps getting better and this is an excellent example. This impressive piece features a huge, 7.6 cm wide, translucent, cherry-red rhodochrosite rhomb perched on starkly contrasting snow-white quartz with smaller rhodochrosites. The bottom of the piece is very richly covered with sparkly, brassy pyrite crystals. A large, very highly representative Wudong rhodochrosite.
