Shimmering translucent red Rhodochrosite crystals lining a vug in the matrix. The red scalenohedral crystals really contrast nicely against the black ling of the vug. These are great Rhodo specimens that are no longer common and currently still a great value when compared to N'Chwanning or Sweet Home specimens. They are really just a slight step down in quality when compared to South African Rhodo, and I expect them to appreciate over time.
