The Sweet Home mine is famous for its Rhodochrosite specimens, and Richard Kosnar mined the Sweet Home for a few years during the late 1970's and managed to collect some excellent Rhodochrosite specimens. It features a few sharp, translucent, reddish-pink Rhodochrosite rhombohedra perched atop white "needle" Quartz and associated with minor sulfides. The final touch to this specimen is a small, sharp, gem quality dodecahedron of lavender Fluorite at the base. This piece is from one of the early pockets that Rich Kosnar opened when he started mining in 1977. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
