This excellent cabinet-sized Rhodochrosite specimen hails from the legendary Sweet Home Mine in the Alma District, Colorado—one of the most iconic localities for gem-quality rhombohedral Rhodochrosite crystals.
This piece features a single large, sharply formed Rhombohedron Rhodochrosite measuring approximately 2 inches in all directions, with vibrant red color and strong luster. The crystal shows natural pocket contact, adding authenticity and character to its presentation.
It rests on a beautifully contrasting matrix of Quartz and Tetrahedrite, enhancing the aesthetic balance and mineralogical significance. This is a standout acquisition—especially for collectors just beginning their journey into fine American classics or building a world-class Rhodochrosite suite.
