This specimen consists of matrix that is covered (on both sides) by pale pink botryoidal rhodochrosite and lustrous pyrite xls. In my opinion, this specimen can be displayed from either side as they are both attractive. It's hard to find material from this mine as it is defunct and specimens only come on the market as collections are recycled. Perhaps a few mostly unnoticeable dings, otherwise intact and showy. A couple of the photos show the back side of the specimen.  Enjoy!
