Rhodochrosite Pederneira claim, São José da Safira, Doce valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil 1.61cm x 1.43cm x .4cm

Description/Interesting Notes: An amazing example of rhodochrosite from Brazil!!! This specimen consists of a sharp, single, floater crystal of rhodochrosite!!! This specimen is actually from a pegmatite locality - which is extremely rare for rhodochrosite!!! This specimen was perhaps one of our most exciting finds at this year's Tucson show!!! We had met a miner who ran the operation for well over a decade and collected this specimen himself sometime in 1992-93!!! This specimen was one of just a few fine crystals recovered!!! The crystal has fine pink color, sharp faces, and gemmy clarity!!! The crystal exhibits an unusual flattened triangular habit with modified edges!!! The crystal appears to be a complete floater with some complex etching in areas!!! This is truly an extraordinary example of the species from a very rare locality indeed!!! STAY TUNED!!!
