A nice miniature specimen of fairly saturated pink rhodonite. To the best of my knowledge, the main rhodinite finds at this location took place once around 1989, and a second time around 2006. This piece comes from the 2006 find.
There are really only 4 localities form which you can (have a reasonable chance of) find(ing) good rhodonite: Chiuruc (where this one is from), Conselheiro Lafaiete in Brazil (the most recent find), Broken Hill, Australia, and the old pieces from New Jersey.
