Description

Red radiating (as can be seen from the two spheres on the side), botryoidal rhodochrosite crystals with some matrix attached. There is some contact damage and the specimen needs a bit of light to intensify the colour. Still a nice specimen and this type of red rhodochrosite from NChwaning I is becoming very scarce.
