A gorgeous rhodochrosite cluster from the famous early 1980s finds here, never repeated since in nearly 30 years now. These cherry-red scalenohedra set the standard and good, gemmy specimens such as this are hard to come by now. They only turn up now as old collections recycle. This cluster is pristine, with no dinged tip.
