Description: Baryte, Rhodochrosite Locality: Wuzhou Prefecture, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China (Locality at mindat.org) Size: miniature, 5.7 x 4.4 x 2.3 cm Rhodochrosite with Barite A SHARP, beautiful cherry-red , elongated disc-shaped crystal from this small find. Most unusual in form, compared to other worldwide rhodo locales where you may see this habit, but not in such sizeable crystals. This is a particularly fine example for this locality because of the size, good color, overall form, and completeness all around. Both sides shown - it is almost a floater with just a small attachment point on the bottom. Also, the barite association is a novel and nice touch!
