Rhodochrosite

Locality: Black Rock Mine, Black Rock, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa

A very rich specimen from the old Black Rock Mine, predating famous finds later at NChwaning. These dark cherry-red balls are a very different habit from later finds, and specimens hard to come by - especially in this size and quality! 12.0 x 7.3 x 2.7 cm
