Sweet Home Rhodochrosite on Matrix

Rhodochrosite

Sweet Home Mine, Alma, Park County, Colorado

4.3x4.7x2.9cm


Cherry red Rhodo crystal on Quartz with Tetrahedrite. Old stock material from the 1990s. Originally Sweet Home Mine operated as a Silver mine, but the locality has produced many of the finest rhombohedral Rhodochrosite crystals in the World. This good sized crystal sits perched on a bed of white Quartz, giving a sharp contrast, with specks of Tetrahedrite, that fluoresce bright orange under a blacklight.
