Rhodochrosite

Unknown Owner
A nice aesthetic plate of gemmy red rhodochrosite crystals to 2 cm on needle-like quartz crystals from the Sweet Home Mine, mined towards the end of the final mining season in 2004. Typical of this pocket, there are some small colorless fluorite crystals scattered throughout. Some minor cleaving is present on the top left rhodochrosite crystals, but overall in good condition.
