Fabulous small specimen of gem Rhodochrosite crystals decorated attractively with Tetrahedrite from the famous Pasto Bueno District, Peru. It displays transparent rhombohedral Rhodochrosite crystals to 8mm with pleasing cherry-red color. It is well crystallized and sharp. Very uncommon addition is one sharp metallic black Tetrahedrite crystal growing on the back side. The deposit has produced these treasures long time ago and pieces like this have always been scarce.  In very good condition - some small nicks. On acrylic base.

Magnificent!
