Single gem crystal of Rhodonite from recent finds in Brazil that have produced what are undoubtedly the best Rhodonite ever.  The color is just so much better than Rhodonite from other localitites such as Broken Hill, Franklin, or Peru. This is a complete well terminated crystal with typical small raised crystal growths on some sides, with the back face cleaved and some matrix grown into the termination. Translucent to transparent internally. Superb color!
