A really interesting combination specimen of gem-like, water-clear, cuboctahedral fluorite crystals with rhodochrosite from the Uchucchacua Mine of Peru. The 3.5 cm vug in massive sulfide matrix is aesthetically sprinkled with fluorite crystals to 4 mm and beautifully contrast the gemmy and lustrous, cherry-red rhodochrosite scalenohedrons that reach 1.4 cm.
