Rhodochrosite, Fluorite, American Tunnel, San Juan Co., Colorado, USA

Unknown Owner
This is one of the nicest saturated rhrodochrosite crystals I have seen from the American Tunnel. The crystals are a good size for the locality, expressing the typical rhombohedral form of rhodochrosite. The contrast between the white matrix and the red rhodo is really aesthetically pleasing. A true Colorado Classic. Ex. Mel Bersch a gift Nate Lift
