Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Rhodochrosite
Locality: N'Chwaning Mines, Kuruman, Kalahari manganese fields, Northern Cape Province, South Africa (Locality at mindat.org)
You are probably aware of how incredibly difficult it is to get N'Chwaning rhodo specimens these days, even at absurd prices. So it comes as a big surprise, I am sure, to see one in the auction! But here it is: sharp, gemmy scalenohedral crystals in a dense curving, attractive cluster. The specimen was well-lit for the pics but not overly so , I think; in person it is the familiar, classic wine-red color (but of course, the stronger the light it is displayed under, the more the crystals glow as in the closeup shot!). 5.1 x 3.1 x 2.3cm
