Rhodochrosite

Item Description

These new Chinese Rhodos have made a big splash on the market in the last year or so. The specimens really remind me of pieces from various mines in Colorado, particular the Sweet Home. This specimen features several sharp, lustrous, gemmy pink rhomobohedra of Rhodochrosite measuring up to 6 mm associated with sparkling, metallic golden Pyrite and small Quartz crystals on matrix. You really don't see many of these new Rhodos from Babu now, so don't pass this one up because the locality has produced little to nothing in the way of specimens in recent months.
