Description

From my personal collection stems this very nice specimen of pink rhodochrosite crystals on matrix with whiteish to clear quartz on top. I acquired the specimen in the late 1980s from a peruvian colleague at Aachen University, said to be from Huaron (similar are obviously known from the Pachapaqui district). Very showy and quite beautiful.
