Description

A very nice old timer and real european classic from Sacarimb/Nagyag: cream whitish rhombs of rhodochrosite on an alabandite rich (type locality!) vein structure.

Some silvery to blackish  lustrous small crystals on the rhodochrosite, not determined. May be some of the classic Nagyag sulfides? .. i did not check them by analysis.
