Description

Intensive rose coloured rhombohedral rhodochrosite, contrastful associated with white sparkly quartz. Most of the rhodos are well defined, sharp edged and lustrous. I have to agree, that this is not the finest Colorado rhodo I have seen, but considering the locality in combination with the anyway very good standard of the specimen, this is a super piece and hard to obtain nowadays.
