Description

A striking rhodochrosite matrix specimen from Peru displaying a sculptural host rock with a curved recess lined by dozens of sharply formed crystals. The crystals show bright, reflective faces and an exceptionally intense, saturated red color. The contrast with the adjacent white mineral coating on the matrix is outstanding and gives the piece a very distinctive presence.
