Richard Kosnar mined the Sweet Home for a few years during the late 1970's and managed to collect some excellent specimens. This piece is from one of the last pockets that Rich opened before he was done at the mine. The Rhodochrosite crystals on this specimen have good red color with excellent gemminess. They are sitting atop Tetrahedrite and Pyrite matrix with minor Quartz crystals. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
