Rhodochrosite Mineral Specimen - Sweet Home Mine, Colorado, USA

Description: RhodochrositeSweet Home Mine, Alma Mining District, Park Co., Colorado, USA 1.3 grams1.2 x 1 x 0.6cm This is a gemmy, complete, rhombohedral crystal, it is vibrantly pink and translucent. Contains some secondary minerals. A very representative piece for the locality. The Sweet Home mine produced some of the best Rhodochrosites in the world. Originally a silver mine from 1873 to 1966, it was mined for Rhodochrosite specimens until 2004 when the company that owned it finished their operation and - as part of their clean-up - sealed the entrance. Recently, mining has begun again to produce these highly sought after mineral specimens. About Me:My name is Krista Sawchuk, I am a PhD student in geochemistry at UCLA.
