Lovely scalenohedrons of pastel pink rhodochrosite are aesthetically emplaced on matrix. The lustrous and translucent crystals, including one at 6.4 cm in length, are colored a rich pink hue. It has a special shape, both sharp and soft at the same time, and looks more like a painting than a crystal, in the photos. A lovely and elegant specimen, among the best of this style. Ex. Marshall Sussman and John Schneider collections.
