Quartz on Rhodochrosite on Calcite (Ref: AX-10-482)
Los Remidios Mine, Level 4, Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico
108mm x 71mm x 61mm
minID: L8Q-YTC
A bright, sparkling old Mexican Rhodo with Scalenohedra that are covered by clear tiny quartz crystals that add a bright luster. The rich pink color of the Rhodocrosite is clearly seen through the druzy Quartz. Some typical sulfides make up the rest of the matrix, the dark colors adding contrast. In very good condition, a few old breaks are noted and seem at least partly rehealed, however as seen this is still a very fine display piece. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
