Attractive specimen of rhodochrosite crystals from the famous Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada. It displays triangular platy crystals growing in a cluster. They have a rich red-brown color and sharp shape. Rhodochrosite is translucent to transparent and gemmy. Some black aegirine crystals are seen too. It shows attractively all over 360 degree. For references see the 1990 issue of The Mineralogical Record vol. 21, # 4. In good condition – some contacts. On acrylic base.

Wonderful!
