Rhodochrosite Specimen #rhsa01 4.9 x 2.9 x 2.5cm Miniature N'Chwaning Mine #1 Kuruman, Cape Province South Africa $95 This specimen is probably my favorite piece listed on this page.  It's made up of two separate generations of rhodochrosite with black manganite on matrix.  First off, there's a generation of black manganite, followed by a generation of bubble gum pink botroidal rhodochrosite.  To top it off, there's another generation of gemmy, cherry red botroidal rhodo on top of the pink layer.  A very interesting and attractive specimen from a world famous and closed location.

The brown matrix looks like stained barite xls to me, but they are so small, that I'm only guessing as to their species. Could be manganite as well.  An attractive and affordable specimen from a defunct world class location.
