An OLD-TIME, CLASSIC rhodochrosite CABINET specimen from an UNCOMMON Colorado locality - the Argo Tunnel near Silverton. Lustrous, salmon-pink rhodo rhombs to 6 mm richly cover the vug and surface of the drusy quartz-covered matrix. Three older labels come with this fine old-timer, mined around 1900. What a piece of history! 11.5 x 10.4 x 7.7 cm
