A very large, SPECTACULAR specimen out of the Wein Collection, a notable European collection that was dispersed a couple of years back rich in wonderful, uncommon European specimens. This is a huge plate of dozens of ROSETTES of bright pink rhodochrosite, clustered on a rolling bed of microcrystalline quartz. The matrix rock itself is rich with rhodochrosite; what is fortunate is that the generation of quartz grew on the matrix, providing a beautiful setting for the rhodo rosettes that grew later.
