Cluster of GEM red Rhodochrosite from old finds and the N'Chwanning Mine. The crystals have superb color and flat terminations. There are grooves along the sides where other crystals were once present, but it's undamaged with perfect terminations, and the crystals are fully transparent top to bottom.  This specimen contains significant gemstone rough value. Cutting such great specimen would be sacrilege, but it's important to consider when evaluating a specimen like this.
