A miniature of Rhodochrosite showing a strong but not over whelming pink color, with small clear quartz crystals covering the surface of several of the crystals. A couple of larger white quartz crystals with clear surfaces cluster around the bottom. When you look in the top of the crystals, they apper hollow due to the white coating blocking the light. Excellent, clean and attractive Rhodochrosite specimen.
