This is a very fine cluster of more than a dozen rhodochrosite crystals to 19 mm tall. The colour is a very pleasing raspberry red, the luster is as good as it could be, and also the overall appearance is just gorgeous! Minor cleaves are present, but these are small in context. The main crystals have distinct flat terminations and are in perfect condition.
