Rhodochrosite with Quartz and Sphalerite

Fluorescent light (daylight)

SV3440ETM

A peculiar discovery from 2021 in the Austria Duvas Mine, where these rhodochrosites appeared in rosette shapes associated with Quartz and minor Sphalerite. Their striking resemblance to the rhodochrosites from Cavnic, Romania, is curious to the extent that at mineral shows, Romanian dealers seeking pieces for their home market sometimes get confused and believe that they are from their own country.
In any case, they are truly pretty, and this one, in addition, quite big.

Austria Duvas Mine, Morococha District, Yauli Province, Junín Department Peru (07/2021)

Specimen size: 15.4 x 9.8 x 7.8 cm
