Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic, old time example of rhodochrosite from Japan!!! This specimen consists of a large, complex plate of pink rhodochrosite crystals!!!
This specimen is almost entirely comprised of rhodochrosite with just a small amount of pyrite and sphalerite in association!!!
The faces are covered with a rich showing of tiny, sparkly pink rhodochrosite crystals!!! There are all manner of
of curious forms to be seen throughout the rhodochrosite including a few tube-like structures!!! The reverse shows a thin
coating of tan colored material and a few areas of pyrite and sphalerite can be seen as well!!! Rare old time material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
