RHODOCHROSITE1

This Rhodo is noteworthy for the intense scarlet color and clarity of the larger crystals. when you look at it, you think "that's facet grade!" The primary crystals are pristine. There are some side crystals that have some contact damage on the far right side, but they are minor crystals compared to the cherry red two big ones. The largest crystal measures 1.2 cm long by .9 cm wide.  The piece weighs over 1 1/2 pounds. It comes from a mining area that is not producing.
