Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique example of rhodochrosite from Peru!!! This specimen consists of a cluster of large,
intensely colored scalenohedral rhodochrosite crystals that are aesthetically covered by a thin, translucent coating of hyalite opal!!! These dramatic rhodochrosite crystals range in size up to 3cm!!! The rhodochrosite crystals appear to have a core of magenta-red and an outer layer of deep cherry red!!! In addition to the hyalite opal coating the rhodochrosite crystals, there are a few areas of bubbly-looking botryoidal opal present as well!!! The pics hardly
do this unique and showy specimen justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS
WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JUNE 10th!!!
