Axinite-(Mn), Rhodonite

Locality: Pachapaqui District, Bolognesi Province, Ancash Department, Peru

This is a very rare example of mn-axinite from a small find in the mine in the 1990s. It is considered to be an extremely rich example, for what it is, and I have not even seen another for sale! And, moreover, it happens to be quite attractive . 3.7 x 3.0 x 1.9 cm
