Description
Presenting this fabulous and superbly attractive specimen featuring Rhodochrosite cluster on matrix. It is from the well-known Peruvian locality of Uchucchacua. These gemmy to translucent Rhodochrosite crystals have a rich, cherry-red color, very good form, and a slightly silky luster. There is only the smallest amount of contact on the top of termination, however the rest of the specimen is in excellent condition. The largest crystal is complex and full 2 cm long. The gemminess will show up even better in person.
