Description

Tiny pale pink crystals of rhodochrosite on crystals of baryte. The rhodochrosite is made up of tiny saddled rhombic crystals that cover the baryte in packed concentrations. The main lustrous baryte crystal to 2.5cm is intergrown with further crystals creating a singular mass. A very attractive specimen in my opinion.
