Size: 4.6x2.4x1.7 cm
Species: Rhodochrosite
Locality: Lone Tree Mine, Humboldt County, Nevada, USA
Description: Lustrous, botryoidal rhodochrosite spheres on romanechite matrix with a single small bladed baryte. Nice examples of this material are hard to come by, and this is a quality miniature in great condition. I note two blades of baryte that have broken off at the base but they are not readily noticeable. No damage visible to the rhodochrosites, which have nice color. A few have had their growth interrupted by the now broken off barytes, but that is the only point of contact on any of them.
