WOW! What a gorgeous rhodochrosite miniature from the no.1 locality in the world! No other locality than N'Chwaning mine has ever produced this striking quality. The colour, luster and clarity are truly amazing and still set the standard for the species. This specimen has the typical and highly desired raspberry colour, a very vivid and bright red, which just glows in the sunlight! The crystals are perched on a manganese matrix, which is also very rare and gives a beautiful contrast. This miniature features all the top qualities of the mine, it is just eye-candy and surprisingly fine.
