Size: 3.4x2.5x1.7 cm
Species: Rhodochrosite, Fluorite
Locality: Sweet Home Mine, Alma Mining Dist., Park Co., Colorado, USA
Description: The original sweet home mine has been shutdown for almost 20 years at this point and specimens are becoming harder and harder to find. Here we have a nice original Sweet Home Mine rhodochrosite that has good luster, wonderful color, and is quite sharp. The specimen is in very good shape. I note one small purple fluorite crystal perched on the edge of the main crystal. An American classic. To learn more about the locality see The Mineralogical Record Vol.29, No.4, July - August 1998.
