This is a rare, unrepaired specimen featuring intertwining stalactites of freestanding rhodochrosite from this important deposit! You often see single fingers, or several stalactites grown together in a solid mass, but rarely do you see anything as aesthetic and dramatic as what we have here, a 3-dimensional, almost-organic cluster. It is coated on the backside as you can see, but the front side is beautiful and of good color. A break at the very base, on the smallest rope, is interesting because it shows at the same time the interior structure of such a stalactite in the same frame of view. 8.7 x 4.3 x 2.4 cm
