Well-crystallized rhodonites are rare from anywhere, so this find in Peru was met with great excitement by the collector community 2 years ago when they first hit. A few continue to trickle out, but I think the ones with this intense color were all early finds. They are superb for the species, with unusual isolation and translucency to the crystals. Moreover, they are just really PRETTY: roseate flowers of transparent, deep rose-colored crystals to over one centimeter.
