A beautiful miniature specimen, hosting numerous scalenohedral crystals of gemmy red rhodochrosite that have the best color for Peru.  This specimen is from a pocket encountered a few years ago-- this is the pocket that produced most of the better specimens currently on the market.  None has been found since.
