This is an aesthetic, wing-like cluster of lustrous, translucent, flattened, rose-red rhodochrosite rhombs nicely accented by fluorite, quartz and pyrite from recent finds at the Wudong Mine of China. The largest rhodochrosite is 4.2 cm and many of the faces are lightly frosted. The quality of Chinese rhodochrosite keeps getting better and this is an excellent example.
