RHODOCHROSITE with QUARTZ
Hedgehog Pocket, Main Stope Drift, Sweet Home Mine, Alma, Park County, Colorado
10.5 x 10 x 4.5 cm
A superb, collector quality rhodochrosite specimen from the world famous Sweet Home Mine. This specimen was discovered in 1996 in crystal-lined pocket named “Hedgehog”. The pocket was so named because the pocket walls were completely covered with small, needle-like quartz crystals resembling the quills or spines of this small mammal. This specimen features numerous reddish-pink, lustrous rhombohedral crystals of rhodochrosite reaching 1 cm on edge which have grown upon clear to milky quartz crystals measuring up to 1.2 cm in length. A very aesthetic specimen!
The Sweet Home Mine was permanently closed in October of 2004. This is a very aesthetic specimen from one of the most important mineral specimen producing localities of the last 100 years!
