Rhodochrosite, Calcite
Taxco de Alarcon (Taxco; Tasco), Mun. de Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico
Large Cabinet, 16.4 x 10.9 x 6.3 cm
SOLD
Rhodo is rare from here but this cute association piece, cabinet sized no less, is more notable for its overall aspect than just for having a bit of rhodo on it. This is a rare combo specimen from Taxco, a BIG plate of sharp rhombs of calcite to 4 cm across, with a pretty sprinkling of pastel-pink rhodochrosite! Taxco is one of those localities that did not turn out specimens in quantity, and certainly not like this unusual combo piece. Ex. Stoudt Collection.
