Superb example of Rhodochrosite from this famous locality. Beautifully intergrown crystals with rich dark red-brown color and rhombohedral habit. They are complete and have perfect sharp shape with good luster. Some Aegirine crystals with black color and white Microcline base add a nice contrast. Displays all over 360 degree.  For references see The Mineralogical Record, 21, 332-333. Stabilized. Ex. J.B. Burton collection. In very good condition – some small contacts. On acrylic base.

Marvelous Rhodochrosite from Mont Saint-Hilaire!
