Druse of well-developed rhombohedral crystals of Rhodochrosite, with slight curvatures on the faces and edges, shiny, of a very intense and uniform pink color, and on matrix. Accompanied by Galena and white spheroidal coatings of Quartz microcrystals.
From a French collection, it is a splendid example from this classic American locality, both for the richness of crystals and the intensity of color.
