Description
Uchucchacua mine in Oyon Province, Peru. This deep mine works a polymetallic orebody hosted in early Cretaceous limestones with both hydrothermal and metasomatic mineralisation. The translucent Rhodochrosite crystals form complex rhombohedral crystals modified to equant blocky prisms of garnet-like appearance. The faces are either finely striated or display micro-rhombohedral steps. A fabulous Rhodochrosite off-set beautifully by the underlying lustrous Quartz.
Known provenanceKnowing where your specimen comes from and who owned it adds to its story and value. Good provenance helps prove it's authentic and preserves important details about its discovery.
