Interconnected stalactites of Rhodochrosite from the Capillitas Mine. This is a tight bunch of numerous stalactites all grown together, with some of the ends broken revealing the internal concentric rings of varying shades of pink and red. The bottom is cut smooth and the cluster stands upright on it's own for display. It's 8cm tall and could be cut into a number (8?) of great slabs, therefore I value this at $500 in rough value alone.
