Rhodochrosite, Fluorite

Locality: Potosí Mine (El Potosí Mine), Francisco Portillo, West Camp, Santa Eulalia District, Mun. de Aquiles Serdán, Chihuahua, Mexico

Well, this is a "Mammamia" Mexican Rhodochrosite, with innumerable prismatic elongated bright red crystals, sometime in radiated groups, partially transparent, perfectly terminated, on the two sides of the specimen. Present also nice triacisexahedral clear Fluorite crystal up to 3-4 mm and small Quartz. Misures 58x45 mm with crystals up to 15 mm. I never seen a stunning Rhodo from Mexico like this yet. Acquired by Dana Slaughter, now in my personal Rhodochrosite Collection. Photo Simone Citon.
