Novo Horizonte, Bahia, Brazil

#Btb68: Rhodochrosite,Quartz, Sulphides - Huaron Mines, Alcides Carrion Province, Pasco Dept, Peru

small cab: 7.7 x 6.8 x 4.0cms - 186gms- $49.50

Wonderful baby pink display of Rhodochrosite crystals liberally coating the Quartz druse matrix. The Rhodochrosite crystals are typically Rhombohedral, and appear in places, to have pseudo morphed an unknown platy mineral.

Other areas show 'sulphides', though not entirely sure what the composition is, could well be Tennantite- Either way its an interesting and unusual specimen, that displays well, as shown in the photos.
