A wonderful example for this rare yet attractive species with orange red platy crystals measuring to 0.8 cm in size set on a pink crystallized rhodochrosite matrix with siderite. Micro-chipping is present but quite minimal, considering the rarity of the species of the size of these crystals, I think in really good condition.
