Rhodochrosite, Quartz
An attractive, classic cluster of red Rhodocrosite scalenohedrons from one of the world's great Rhodochrosite mines. The largest of the crystals is 1.7 cm long, the luster is excellent, and the gemminess is better than you normally find. On most N'Chwaning Rhodochrosites, there is cleavage on the tips of some of the scalenohedra, and this specimen is no exception. There is also an attractive partial drusy coating (Quartz) on some of the Rhodochrosites, adding a very pleasant contrast. They have not been mined since the early 1980s. Ex. Charlie Key.
