A beautiful, highly crystalized Rhodochrosite specimen that is composed of stacked and parallel rhombohedrons in a rich rose pink color.  From the Wutong Mine of China, thie Rhodochrosite crystals have good luster and are translucent, stunning and dramatic!  Rhodochrosite is extremely rare as well-formed crystals and the Wutong Mine is no longer producing specimen grade Rhodochrosite, this is from a lot we had acquired in 2008 and I only have a few more to offer.
