SWEET HOME JUICE

SWEET HOME JUICE.

Now THIS is the kind of Rhodochrosite that makes you stop and stare.

An absolutely JUICY rhomb from the legendary Sweet Home Mine, Alma, Colorado — glowing with that rich, saturated cherry-red color that made this locality one of the most iconic Rhodochrosite mines on Earth.

The color on this crystal is just ridiculous. Deep red through the body with fiery translucent areas that absolutely LIGHT UP when the light hits it. Add that bold rhombohedral form, glassy luster and serious presence and you’ve got a little block of Sweet Home candy.

There’s Rhodochrosite… and then there’s SWEET HOME RHODOCHROSITE.

Another piece that reminds me exactly why the hunt never ends. Earth made this.
