A fine rhomb of cherry-red rhodochrosite, perched perfectly on the matrix, with accenting quartz and tetrahedrite. There is a little bit of contact on the back, but other than that the crystal is in wonderful condition, complete all around. It is very difficult to get more of these now, as mining has really tapered off. 2.8 x 2 x 2 cm
