78mm x 54mm x 42mm
minID: WY6-3YG
Spheroidal growths of Rhodochrosite, some of them clearly dominant, with an intense and uniform pink color, with water-clear and very lustrous Quartz crystals and aggregates microcrystals of Sphalerite. From an active mine that works lead, copper, zinc and silver. Interestingly, from this same mine and time period, similar but paler colored specimens were found that turned out to be manganese-bearing calcites, whereas these more intensely colored specimens turned out on analysis to be true rhodochrosites. We will send a copy of this new analysis to the buyer.Austria Duvas Mine, Morococha District, Yauli Province, Junín Department Peru(07/2021)
Specimen size: 7.8 × 5.4 × 4.2 cm = 3.07” × 2.13” × 1.65”
