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.
