Rhodochrosite

Unknown Owner
A large single crystal of rhodochrosite from one of the best localities for the species. Gemmy with nice surface texture and sharp edges. Saturated color that grabs your attention and good luster. I note a single small ding to the termination, and an impression on the backside. A great example of what can be produced from this locale.
