Rhodochrosite- scalenohedral form crystals
Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province
Lima Department, Peru
6.3 x 4.2 x 3.4 CM (cabinet)
price: $360
Sharp and gemmy red Rhodochrosite crystals on a contrasting matrix. The crystals are mostly formed as Scalenohedral but take a few other forms as well. Uchucchacua is one of the worlds best Rhodo localities for Scalenohedrons, but not as well known (or expensive) as South Africa. Several crystals are partly coated with a thin crust of what seems to be Calcite and makes a nice contrast.
