This is a large, polished slice not just through one or two rhodochrosite stalactites, which are well-known from here, but through a massing of more than a dozen stalactites that grew together over time. You can see the concentric circles from the gradual deposition that formed them. The centers have a rich, deep salmon-pink color. Found in early 1990s.
