Rhodochrosite

Photo Copyright © Roger Lang 2003  - This image is copyrighted. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited.
Rhombohedral Rhodochrosite xls with some Pyrite on Quartz. Specimen was labeled with Huaron, but timing of the specimen (late 1970s) and habit is more typical of the then famous and well known finds in the Huayllapon Mine. Resembles somewhat to the famous Colorado specimen, but is undoubtetly from Peru. Bought in 1979, my collection, width approx. 8 cm.
