Rhodochrosite - Uchucchacua Mine, Peru.
 
This famous Rhodochrosite locality has produced an extraordinary variety of the affectionately known "spicy calcite" of the Calcite group. This particular specimen has an unusual form which has a rather entrancing amount of detail. It appears to be a schalenohedral form that has flatened rhombehedral modifications on the side. There are other schalenohedral crystals present on the edge of the specimen which are both adorable and gemmy. The crystals rest on Goethite and there is the presence of another clear crystalline material that we have been unable to identify as of yet.
