This cherry-red rhodochrosite is from the famous 1980s finds, and represents increasingly difficult-to-find material today. It displays a deep, saturated red interior with translucent orange-red edges, creating an attractive contrast when illuminated with backlighting. The specimen has a somewhat irregular crystal arrangement, with a cloudy termination at the top and a rich, very dark red colour through the interior. Backlighting is recommended to best appreciate its colour and translucency. A distinctive example of classic rhodochrosite from these historic finds.
