UCCR3 Rhodochrosite

Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province, Lima Dept., Peru.

6.1x 3.9x 3.8 cm

$225
 

A very rich specimen, with numerous pink rhodos to .9 cm.  A couple of the smaller crystals on the edge are cleaved, but all of the larger ones are all intact. Overall a superb example of an Uchucchacua rhodochrosite

These were quite plentiful at Tucson 2006, but at Tucson 2007, even the Peruvian dealers only had a couple, high-priced flats..
