Rhodochrosite - Pit Wolf, Herdorf, Altenkirchen, Germany
Ex. collection Karl Rickauer
 
Crystals up to 4 mm grown as cones in raspberry to rose red color on limonite. In several parts of the matrix the clear Rhodochrosite crystals are contrasting on the dark matrix. Good specimens from the Wolf Pit have meanwhile increased in value considerably due to the hopelessness of new finds.
