Item Description

The Sunnyside mine has produced some very well known Rhodochrosite specimens in its history. This piece has some very attractive, pink colored Rhodochrosite rhombs sitting on Quartz with minor sulfides. The largest rhomb measures a few mm. The association and color contrast make it a worthwhile reference specimen of this hard to find and often highly sought after material. A decent little specimen for any collector of Rhodochrosites or pieces from Colorado.
