Beautifully gemmy and lustrous, cherry-red rhodochrosite scalenohedrons are artfully clustered on massive manganite matrix coated with sparkly, drusy manganite on this showy and excellent specimen from the famous late 1970s finds at the N'Chwaning II Mine. There are a couple of cleaved rhodo crystals, which are certainly not a detraction and are barely noticeable Classic material from the early 1980s, no hard to get in ANY quality or size.
