Vein of incredibly gemmy Rhodochrosite scalenohedrons with absolutely superb luster. A few of the crystals are doubly-terminated and range up to about .8 cm in length. There is a fair amount of edge wear and outright damage on the more exposed end of the specimen, but the main pocket is in much better condition.
