A beautiful and unusual rhodochrosite specimen from the Uchucchacua Mine of Peru. Gemmy and lustrous, rose-red rhodochrosite rhombs have unusual, very distinctive, stepped-growth faces. The quartz association is very uncommon, as most rhodochrosites are on sulfide matrix from this noted locale. Striking material.
