Rhodochrosite with Quartz

8034801
location:
Uchucchacua Mine, Lima Department, Peru
description:
Very pretty deep red partly gemmy scalenohedral crystals of rhodochrosite to 1.0 cm in height on a matrix of crystallized sparkling micro quartz. This is in very good condition as seen, lacking the cleaving that is normally seen in these. I think in super condition.
