Displays nicely intergrown tender salmon-pink Rhodochrosite crystals with shiny Polylithionite rosettes.  The Rhodochrosite crystals have rhombohedral habit.

Some Aegirine crystals with black color and colorless Albite form the base. For references see The Mineralogical Record, 21, 332-333. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.
