Rhodochrosite, cosalite, pyrite, quartz

A true classic from the 1990s from Kara Oba in Kazakhstan. An exceptionally interesting specimen from a find that has since largely been forgotten. Well-developed, sharp gray-pink rhodochrosite crystals on a quartz matrix are accompanied by clusters of the rare mineral cosalite and cubic pyrite crystals. A superb combination that is unparalleled anywhere in the world. A specimen whose exceptional nature will delight any advanced collector.
