The ArkenstoneFeatured
A fine, sharp example of the rare style of rhodochrosite from Pakistan, fine thin disc shaped crystals formed in an unusual environment for the mineral. Normally rhodochrosite forms in large veins in metal mines; but this is from a gem pegmatite deposit, associated with tourmaline and topaz. Rhodochrosites from such environments are very rare in nature and this is a fine, complex but complete crystal, attached to a bit of cleavelandite as accent. From a 2022 find.
