Rhodochrosite
For so many mineral collectors, the Rhodochrosites of the N'Chwaning I Mine have become the holy grail of collecting, more so due to their increasing scarcity on the modern market, now that the original legendary find was discovered nearly forty years ago! This find was characterized by sharp scalenohedral crystals, with the deepest red color you could ask for in any mineral. Each of the "dogtooth" crystals are wonderfully formed and crystallize outward from the display side. At 16 centimeters, this is a very sizable example from N'chwaning, a mine that mostly produced miniature and small cabinet specimens. To have a fully-crystallized plate is exceedingly rare. This specimen comes with a custom acrylic base.
