Item Description
The Uchucchacua Mine in Peru is one of world's most well-known Rhodochrosite producers. It stands as one of the top localities in all of South America of gemmy, fiery colored crystals. This excellent full cabinet display specimen features glowing strong red colored, very sharp, rather gemmy, lustrous, modified scalenohedral crystals measuring up to 6-7 mm associated with minor Quartz on host rock matrix. Most of central crystals are damage free, though I can see a few incomplete crystals here and there, the only damage is around the periphery where it was removed from the pocket wall. The piece honestly looks better in person than the video might indicate, and if you collect worldwide Rhodochrosites or minerals from Peru / South America, don't miss out on this eye-catching specimen from this classic locality. Valued $3,000-$4000. From the dealer stock of Brian Kosnar, originally part of the worldwide Rhodochrosite collection of Dr. William S. Logan (Specimen #X119-8).
