1.1" Hot Pink Rhodochrosite Crystal Cluster - South Africa
This is a small cluster of druzy rhodochrosite crystals that were collected from the N'Chwaning Mine in South Africa. The crystals are vibrant in color and although the cluster is small, it would make for an excellent mounted display piece!
Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with the chemical composition MnCO3. The crystals typically have a rosy pink to red coloration with rhombohedral cleaving in three directions. It forms from hydrothermal pockets and can be found as both crystals and in banded formations. Its color and occasional banding patterns make it a popular stone for faceting and cutting into cabochons. Premier specimens come from China, South Africa, Argentina, where it is the national mineral, and from the Sweet Home Mine in Alma, Colorado.
