Rhodochrosite on matrix

This is a good all around Colorado Rhodochrosite, composed of about 12 rhombohedrons. The color is good, with enough red to it to differentiate it from many paler examples. It's in good condition with only a little rubbing in the lower right corner. Since the mine closed several years ago these are few and far between, and I've seen prices on pieces like this pushing $2500 at other dealer's booths.
