A wonderful combo specimen of fluorite and rhodochrosite on tetrahedrite from Rodney’s Pocket (1997) in the original Sweet Home workings. Rodney’s pocket was one of few pockets recovered during the 1997 season, but produced fine quality specimens with great color. This example features deep red rhodochrosite with pale blue/white fluorite – a typical combo for the pocket. This specimen is not perfect – many crystals are damaged, but it still remains a classic combo for the mine with some great display angles. See video.
