A really fine and aesthetic rhodochrosite miniature from the N'Chwaning II Mine. Beautifully gemmy lustrous, intensely cherry-red rhodochrosite scalenohedrons are piled up in an exquisite, complete all-around, mounded cluster. The largest rhodochrosites are at the top of the "mountain." Most of the crystals have unusual, flattened terminations and a preferential dusting of manganite is a very nice accent.
