A fascinating and unusual specimen of pink rhodochrosite from Manuelita Mine, Junin, Peru. It displays tender pink colored rosettes of rhombohedral rhodochrosite crystals, forming attractive clusters. Rhodochrosite is sparkling. Black sphalerite forms the base. It is coated with yellow micro pyrite crystals. Small quartz crystals are seen too. The color intensity and nuance varies depending the type of the light. Some contacts. On acrylic base.

Wonderful rhodochrosite!
