Rhodochrosite -Scalenohedral crystals
Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province
Lima Department, Peru
4.2 x 4.1 x 2.8 CM (miniature)
price: $650
Spring 2019
Sizable doubly terminated Rhodochrosite crystals sitting on contrasting matrix. These are the "fat Scalenohedral" habit from Uchucchacua and are translucent to transparent with the largest crystal 2.1 CM. The presenting face of the specimen looks in very good undamaged condition but the crystals do have contacts and chipping on the backs and sides so this is not for perfectionists. Depending on the display angle this can look quite perfect however. The crystals have some faces showing complex striations but others are smooth and lustrous. A great value for the size, color and form.
