Description

A very interesting specimen from a more rare locality. Eniovche Mine is listed (IMO) wrong at mindat, it has nothing to do with the town of Enyovche. According to my research it is not far form the Madan ore field (which would be logical) and in the neighboring Nedelino ore field. The specimen itself exhibits a vug in a rhodochrosite/host rock vein matrix with quartz crystals hosting pale pink rhombs of rhodochrosite and an interesting aggregate of same pinkish acicular/fence like aggregates. I wouldn´t rule out kutnohorite for that one. Rhodochrosite is for sure. Rare material!
