This is an exquisitely formed, razor-sharp scalenohedron of rhodochrosite pseudomorph after the calcite (which it has replaced). The spearpoint crystal is 2.1 cm in length and the color is a lustrous and translucent, vivid, pink color. An added accent is the small, sparkling cluster gemmy quartz crystals on the lower left. A thumbnail, with big visual impact!
