DDM03 Rhodochrosite
Moanda Mine, Haut-Ogooue Province, Gabon
5.2x 2.8x 1.2 cm
$375

A nice and somewhat difficult to find example of rhodochrosite from Gabon.  These rhodochrosites  were found in the 70's and early 80's, and easily distinguished from other localities by their narrow, rice-like crystals. 

There is some peripheral damage as might be expected, but over all in good condition.
