Description
A beautiful Rhodochrosite-on-Quartz specimen with medium pink coloured Rhodochrosite rhombs from relatively uncommon Peruvian "Rhodo-locale" Santa Rita Mine at the western part of Morococha district. The Rhodos here are sharp edged and highly lustrous with good lucency and superb contrast to the glistening, crystallized, white Quartz matrix. Very aesthetic and minor bruised material from this classic mine which is located ~ 100 km ENE of Lima.
