Stunning specimen of Rhodochrosite on Quartz needles with Hubnerite!
This is one of the finest Hedgehog miniatures that I've seen recently! The largest Rhodo rhomb
measures nearly an inch (2.2 cm) in size and displays a vibrance of color that you usually don't find
in Hedgehog Pocket specimens. All the Rhodochrosite surfaces are lustrous glassy and complete
with some natural facial stepping on the corner. The large reddish-pink rhomb is completely pristine!
From the Hedgehog Pocket, Main Stope Drift, Sweet Home Mine, Alma, Colorado.
Measures 5 cm by 4.8 cm by 5 cm in total size.

Tremendous specimen of Rhodochrosite atop a large Pyrite with Tetrahedrite and Quartz!
One of the most impressive combo specimens I've seen from the Sweet Home Mine and easily
the largest Pyrite crystal, this specimen was formally in the private collection of Bryan Lees.
The main rhomb at the top measures over 4 cm in size from corner to corner and is a deep
red with an internal glow that radiates through the entire translucent crystal! The bottom side
and far right side faces are misted and this is probably what helps the color become so intense.
The Rhodo rhomb is in perfect condition and sits atop a 2.3 cm Pyrite which is as shiny as it
is striated. A sprinkling of dark Tetrahedrite and needle Quartz crystals accent the surface.
All in all, this is a MAJOR Rhodochrosite and possibly the finest combination of Rhodo and
Pyrite ever found at the Sweet Home. A specimen that is easily worthy of the finest collections.
From Collector's Pocket, 2nd Crosscut, Sweet Home Mine, Alma, Colorado.
Measures 5.6 cm by 4 cm by 3.4 cm in total size.

MIN#R-4 NEW!

Colorful specimen featuring reddish-pink Rhodochrosite crystals on Pyrite studded matrix!
These fine rhombohedral crystals of Rhodochrosite are translucent with a much better than
average color for a Butte specimen. They are reddish-pink in contrast to the more common
pale pink specimens normally seen from this locality. Each Rhodo is lustrous and nearly gem
with a good color vibrance. A thin Calcitic growth frames many of the Rhodo crystals at the base.
This is old collection material and is one of the better Butte Rhodo specimens I've seen in years.
From the Emma Mine, Butte, Butte District, Silver Bow County, Montana.
Measures 5 cm by 4.5 cm by 3.1 cm in total size.

MIN#R-9 Sold!

Attractive miniature featuring Rhodochrosite with Quartz, Pyrite, and Tetrahedrite!
A good looking specimen, complete with several rhombs of better than average color and lots
of lustrous Pyrite which is always a plus because it isn't all that common. The largest rhomb on
the right measures 1.8 cm in size and the other rhombs are all over 1 cm in size. They show some
matrix influence near the top faces but this doesn't detract from the front side. The specimen
is in good condition overall with a sweet internal glow in the largest translucent Rhodo rhombs.
From the New Watercourse Raise, 3rd Crosscut, Sweet Home Mine, Alma, Colorado.
Measures 2.8 cm by 4.9 cm by 2.8 cm in total size.

A beautiful small miniature, consisting of four stacked Rhodochrosite rhombs
with Quartz needles and Tetrahedrite accents on the backside. The rhombs are in
excellent condition with some faces displaying a very light frosting. The specimen
lights up nicely when given a direct light and has a good reddish to hot pink coloration.

MIN#R-11 NEW!

Rich plate of Rhodochrosite rhombs with Quartz point accenting!
This good looking plate is nearly all Rhodochrosite! There's a stray Quartz needle here and there
but they only accent the overwhelming red. In great shape with only peripheral trim-zone contacts.

Large crystal of gem-red Rhodochrosite perched atop matrix with Goethite!
In good condition with only a small cleave on the bottom side, this crystal measures
3 cm in size. It is terminated at the top and the sides display a stepped growth that hosts
a thin coating of Goethite in some areas. The Rhodochrosite surfaces are glassy reflective.

Beautiful reddish-pink crystal clusters of Rhodochrosite on Quartz!
A sweet specimen which packs more of a Rhodo punch than most specimens I see from this locale.
The pink clusters are in excellent shape with no contacts to speak of. They add a nice sparkle in
contrast to the glassy crystal faces of the Quartz crystals which cover the matrix. Very pretty!

Lustrous crystal balls of Rhodochrosite with Barite tabs on Romanechite!
I don't come across very many of these and most are probably in private collections.
This specimen features half a dozen lustrous Rhodochrosites and the color could best
be described as red with just a hint of orange. The Barite tab at top is transparent and
absolutely pristine! Both minerals sit atop a matrix of botryoidal Romanechite.
From the Lone Tree Mine, Humboldt County, Nevada.
Measures 7.8 cm by 7.3 cm in size.

MIN#R-16 NEW!

Colorful specimen of Rhodochrosite with Quartz, Tetrahedrite, and Malachite!
As far as I know, only one pocket with Malachite was found at the Sweet Home Mine.
Most specimens from there had poor quality Rhodo in pretty rough shape. This was the
only specimen I found that had several complete and gemmy rhombs with the Malachite!
From the Malachite Pocket, 3rd Tetrahedrite Raise, Sweet Home Mine, Alma, Colorado.
Measures 8.5 cm by 5.5 cm in size.

MIN#R-17 NEW!

Graceful specimen featuring deep pink Rhodochrosite rhombs sitting atop Quartz matrix!
Very attractive miniature with a pair of rhombs measuring 2.3 cm and 1.8 cm in size.
Both are perfect with no damage and sharp, well defined crystal faces. Very nice mini!

MIN#R-19 NEW!

Beautiful specimen featuring Rhodochrosite in cluster atop fine Quartz crystals!
Good quality Rhodochrosite with decent color is getting almost impossible to find at the shows.
The translucent-gem rhombs here average 1 cm to 1.5 cm in size and I count at least twenty of them.
This specimen displays enough Rhodochrosite to impress anyone and the price is still reasonable!
