Item Description

There are a lot of localities for Rhodochrosite in Colorado. The Champion Mine is well-known to Colorado collectors, and specimens are seldom available. This pocket of Rhodocrosite is packed full of sharp rhombs up to about 3 mm on edge, and they have a deep pink color and good luster. Lustrous Pyrite highlights the matrix, and there are sharp, gemmy microcrystals of Sphalerite sprinkled on the Rhodos. A very fine, rich specimen from this coveted Colorado locality.
