Another specimen from my miniature collection which i held since 1995: a matrix of vuggy limonite hosts the typical pinkish-orange club-shaped crystals of rhodochrosite consisting of innumerable subindividues. On the backside there is also some malachite-covered native copper. Nice classic from one of the most famous rhodochrosite localities in Europe.
