UCR00 Rhodochrosite

Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province, Lima Dept., Peru.

9.5x 3.8x 5.0 cm

Simply put, one of the finest Uchucchacua rhodos that I have seen for sale in recent years.  This cabinet specimen is particularly bright--even by the standard of other Uchucchacua rhodos, and has a display surface covered with small pink scalenohedrons, as well as a cluster of larger crystals.

While it is getting very difficult to find good rhodos from this mine, specimens such as this one were always rare.

The color on this one is accurate for normal lighting conditions.
