Description: A striking rose-pink rhodochrosite crystal from the legendary Pasto Bueno Mine, Peru, this thumbnail specimen is perfect for collectors who appreciate vibrant colour and sharp geometry in their pieces. Compact yet full of personality, this crystal measures 1.3 x 1.1 x 0.9 cm and weighs 1.35 grams, making it ideal for display or study. The rhombohedral crystal habit is wonderfully defined, with stepped faces that reflect light beautifully. The hue is an even, soft pink that becomes semi-transparent at the edges, creating subtle highlights under proper lighting. Unlike larger or matrix-bound examples, this piece stands alone, free of distractions, offering a pure appreciation of the rhodochrosite itself. The Pasto Bueno Mine, nestled in the Andes, is renowned for producing rhodochrosite specimens prized by collectors worldwide. This piece is a testament to the mine’s reputation, combining vibrant colour and sharp geometry in a thumbnail size that fits neatly into any collection. Why This Piece Stands Out This rhodochrosite is quintessential of why thumbnail specimens are so sought after—compact in size but packed with impact. Its rich pink colour and clean geometry make it a standout in any display. With no matrix to distract from its form, it’s a crystal that really shines!
