RHODOCHROSITE - a MANGAN CARBONATE is one of the oldest gemstones in the world to have been processed into jewelry.
The ideal colors can therefore also be described with the synonym name "RASPBERRY SPAT". Poorer qualities are then only pale pink.
Steps with perfect crystals and intense color are very, very expensive.
This piece unfortunately has no crystals with end faces, but is still very good CRYSTALLINE with an intense raspberry color.
Found in the Uchuccacua Mine in the Prov. Oyan Dep. of Lima - ANDES - PERU
