Alabandite with Rhodochrosite Uchucchacua Mine, Oyon Province, Lima Department, Peru 4.9cm x 4.5cm x 3.3cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic example of alabandite with rhodochrosite from the recent find Peru!!! Examples of crystalline alabandite are extremely rare and these specimens from Peru represent the absolute pinnacle of the species!!! This specimen hosts numerous sharp, complex crystals of alabandite set in a matrix of pink rhodochrosite!!! Several of the crystals exhibit sharp spinel-twinning as well!!! Some of the crystals show unusual markings on their surfaces that resemble cracks but upon close examination can be seen to be very shallow and rounded!!! This is fantastic example of alabandite from this extraordinary find!!! The pics don't even come close to doing this rare specimen justice!!! The association with pink rhodochrosite makes for a particularly showy specimen!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
