Fluorite on Rhodochrosite
This specimen looks very much like the fluorite-rhodochrosite combos from the Sweet Home Mine. SO MUCH SO, that I got tricked by the person offering it to me. Until I saw the little sulfides attached, because there is some chalcopyrite on the back you would not see at Sweet Home, I didn't catch the joke. As a Sweet Home piece, its pretty damned good. As a China combo, its still pretty good. Contemporary or not, I cannot imagine many combo pieces of this balance and poise coming out of any pocket. It features a limpid, equant, translucent, lustrous, purple, fluorite crystal, measuring 2.5 cm across, which grew on rose-pink rhodochrosite, along with minor sphalerite, chalcopyrite and quartz. I particularly like the stepped faces on the fluorite which ada a complexity, visually. Stellar specimen from a new find. I am told on good reliability that there were only 3 good ones from this pocket
