Fluorite with Rhodochrosite
specimen number:
3231066
location:
Sunnyside mine, San Juan Co., Colorado, USA
description: Beautiful green octahedral translucent fluorite crystal 4.5 cm across at the top of a crystallized rhodochrosite pink matrix. An old label has been glued to the back of the piece, some of this glue appears on both sides of the piece but I do not believe the specimen to be repaired, I believe the glue to have come from this label. This is visible only on a microscopic level. Not to the naked eye. In great condition. Classic material for this locality.
