Rhodochrosite - gem Scalenohedral (Ref: 17.1-327)
Hotazel Mine, Kalahari Mg Field, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
22mm x 19mm x 12mm
minID: PR0-97D
Superb color and unusual variation on form, this is a rich thumbnail of glass clear brilliant Rhodo. The good South African Rhodochrosites have not been found for some time and they are considered some of the greatest ever discovered. This shows why these are so coveted, the color is incredibly intense. The crystals are dominantly scalenohedral but have some variations that are quite a bit more complex. An older specimen this is fine condition as seen. All of the crystals are fully transparent, much more so than the photos show. Choice.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
