Rhodochrosite (M1141)
Peru
LOCATION
Uchucchacua Mine, Oyón Province, Lima, Peru
SIZE
50 x 40 x 27 mm
DESCRIPTION
The main crystal is 18 mm across, it shows a more unusual habit for the locality - usually there are scalenohedrons, rhombs are exceptional. The contrast to almost black matrix gives great contrast to this very aesthetic specimen. Further you can see numerous optical tiny double terminated Quartz crystals scattered all over the specimen.
