Description
English: Rhodochrosite
Locality: Wolf Mine, Herdorf, Siegerland, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: small cabinet, 7.4 x 5.7 x 4.1 cm
Rhodochrosite
This large plate of manganese and quartz vein matrix features a great vein of 3-5 mm rhodochrosites runnign its length. They are sharp, spiky, and translucent! There is one repair to that projecting "hook" as shown in lower-left photo, about a 2 cm portion. THis can be removed, though, to give you a nice thumbnail and still leave a good large specimen. I should have done it, probably...This is a very rich specimen for the price!
