Cluster of spikey red Rhodochrosite crystals from South Africa. Large, toothy scalenohedral crystals without matrix. The crystals have excellent transparency and color. There are 3 crystals at the lower left side that have cleaved tips, though the cleaves slope inward towards the cluster and are hard to notice when viewed from the front. This is a specimen I've owned for about 20 years, acquired from Marshall Sussman following one of his trips to Africa.
