Description:The various orebodies in southern Bulgaria have produced a lot of memorable sulfide and carbonate specimens, and even though the Rhodochrosite from this area is not world-class, it IS the only locality that I know of where Rhodochrosite occurs with STILBITE ! There are some GEM quality, colorless prismatic Quartz crystals spread around here and there for a nice touch. The Stilbite crystals are admittedly small, but the fact that they are sitting atop Rhodochrosite makes it all the more enticing. This is only one of a few pieces of this material that I have seen where Rhodochrosite and Stilbite occur together on the same specimen.
