Richly coloured, deep red-brown gemmy lustrous scalenohedral crystals of Rhodochrosite measuring to 5 mm are clustered and scattered over translucent, botryoidal blue Chalcedony coating a grey manganese-oxide matrix from the N'Chwaning mines in South Africa. The colour of the Chalcedony really makes this a stunning miniature, being an inky teal with a waxy to greasy lustre. The contrast between the red Rhodochrosite and blue Chalcedony is both beautiful and unusual.
