Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Rhodochrosite, Hübnerite, Tetrahedrite, Quartz
Locality: Sweet Home Mine (Home Sweet Home Mine), Mount Bross, Alma District, Park County, Colorado, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: 6.8 x 6.1 x 2.3 cm.
Richard Kosnar mined the Sweet Home for a few years during the late 1970's and managed to collect some excellent rhodochrosite specimens. This piece is from one of the last pockets that Rich opened before he was done at the mine. The rhodochrosite crystals on this specimen have great red color with excellent sharpness and gemminess. They are associated with minor reddish hübnerite and black tetrahedrite on thin "needle" quartz crystal matrix. The largest rhodochrosite crystal measures 2.3 cm across, and despite a contact, has superb color and internal gemminess. This mine is now completely defunct, and will never produce these world class quality rhodochrosite specimens again. This is a good miniature with fine color and an attractive color contrast between the red rhodochrosite and black tetrahedrite. Ex. Richard Kosnar Collection.
