The Jubankeng mine is best known for producing Tungsten, which makes these pink rhodochrosites a fun surprise! These pleasing salmon-colored rhodochrosite crystals are from finds just prior to COVID. Several dozen tabby crystals feature with a rich salmon pink center, "sandwiched" by lighter pink exteriors, accented by a druze of tiny, blush-pink rhodochrosites. The crystals are a rounded hexagonal shape, and milky-white quartz provides contrast, along with tiny, brassy, chalcopyrite clusters.
