A pink Rhodochrosite crystal sits atop a quartz base, displayed in glass case.
A display of Rhodochrosite with quartz is seen in one large piece. The piece is in the shape of a long shield. The Rhodochrosite grows in pale pink cubes on the mineral piece. The cubes are grouped together, covering a majority of the piece from the top across to the right side, leaving an area on the bottom point of the piece and two small areas on the left side without the pink cubes. The pink stones are a soft watermelon shade and show a small amount of transparency. The quartz has shone up in a very delicate way with the Rhodochrosite. The mineral is covered on every available surface with tiny quartz points. The points are clear, long points that can very easily break off if touched. The large leans on an unseen stand on a black surface below. The glass case reflects the stone piece at the top left of the piece. The case line is seen on the bottom, just in front of the stone. The light above the stone shines directly onto the stone piece, while a small shadow is seen on the surface below, along with the round outline of the light. An unidentifiable reflection is seen on the right side of the image.
