Transparent pink scalenohedral Rhodochrosite crystals on matrix. The largest Rhodo crystal is 1.5cm long and some are doubly-terminated. They are pink/red and gemmy with areas partially coated by an unidentified white mineral. Sawcut on base. No longer being found, this is an old piece that was stashed by a Peruvian miner and recently shipped to me. Valued at $250.
