Richard Kosnar mined the Sweet Home for a few years during the late 1970's and managed to collect some excellent Rhodo specimens. This piece is from one of the last pockets that he opened before he was done at the mine. This crystal has a good pink color with gemmy areas and is actually crystallized on all sides. This rhomb has many stepped faces and is more of an unusual habit as compared to many of the newer specimens to come out. Ex. Kosnar Collection.
