A glistening, brilliantly colored specimen covered with drusy rhodochrosite upon which has grown a rich encrustation of tightly packed scalenohedral crystals. There IS some damage to those crystals, especially at the periphery, but the overwhelming value of the piece is really in its color splash rather than in perfection. 7.2 x 6.8 x 6.6 cm
