Top quality specimen of Rhodochrosite from the famous locality of Mont Saint-Hilaire, Canada. It displays killer 40mm Rhodochrosite crystal with rich and saturated salmon-pink color and sharp rhombohedral habit. It is complete all over and has perfect razor sharp shape with strong luster. Some areas are translucent and gemmy. Above are seen many Polylithionite rosettes. They are very shiny and light reflective. Some black Aegirine needles and white Albite are seen too as well as some unidentified minerals. The specimen is very fresh with beautiful display from all sides. For references see The Mineralogical Record, 21, 332-333. In very good condition – some small contacts and nicks.
Exceptional Rhodochrosite from Mont Saint-Hilaire!
