Fine miniature of rhodochrosite fingers on quartz micro points matrix.The piece is actually stalactites of glittering rhombohedra on the matrix and it's terminated on the back as well.It's only contacted on the bottom with no damage!Actually,it's the only rhodovhrosite of this style I have seen from the mine,so I assume it's part of a small old pocket.
