Giant Rhodochrosite Crystal from Peru

Size: 6.6 x 8.1 x 5.3cm

Weight: 284g

Here is a rather special specimen from Peru. It's a HUGE rhombehedral rhodochrosite crystal; well, actually it's a series of several intergrown crystals, but the main on in front is enormous, and the one in back of it is actually even bigger! It looks much more like a large Colorado specimen than Peru, but it is from the Manuelita Mine there. 

The specimen comes with a custom display base.
