Rhodonite with Pyrite

Chiurucu Mine Dos de Mayo Province Huanuco Department

7 x 4 c 3cm


Sharp, superb rhodonite blades of raspberry pink accented with a tiny glimmer of pyrite. This is from the a small pocket find in 1991, which to this day remains the gold standard for quality from the locality (despite subsequent finds). A classic for this material!

ex. George Witters, Marshall Koval
