Rhodochrosite from the 1970s - early 1980s finds at the Huayllapon Mine at Pasto Bueno has always been highly desirable and very seldom available in large specimens. This excellent cabinet specimen features a very well-placed 8.5 cm wide vug richly and attractively lined with pinkish-red rhodochrosite rhombs to 7 mm and quartz crystals to 2.5 cm long. Many of the rhodochrosites are water-clear gems and the quartz crystals grade from water-clear to milky. A large, highly representative example of the species and locale.
