Rhodochrosite

N’Chwaning II Mine, Kuruman, Kalahari, Northern Cape, South Africa

Miniature

3.7 x 1.7 x 1.2 cm

A visually impressive plate of sparkly rhodochrosite that is peachy pink in color. It has scalenohedral crystals that became overgrown with a sparkly layer of rhodochrosite, giving it a sculptural druzy-like appearance. Great aesthetics on this oddball miniature!
