description: Beautiful grouping of gemmy red glassy scalenohedral rhodochrosite crystals, the largest to 1.3 cm in height coming off a rhodochrosite matrix. Measures 3.0 x 2.0 x 1.5 cm. Complete all-around. Very slight micro-cleaving present on some of the terminations, not atypical of these. Overall I still think in very good condition. Shipping weight: 0.04 pounds.
