LT2105A Rhodonite
Chiurucu, Huallanca District, Bolognesi Prov., Ancash Dept., Peru
8.5x 6.8x 2.7 cm
$850

A rather large example of pink rhodonite from the Chiurucu Mine in Peru.  As far as I know, there were two major finds of this material at this locality: one around 1989-90, and a second around 2006-2007.  This piece comes from the 06-07 find.  Even when I used to go to Peru, larger examples like this were hard to find, and most were somewhat bruised.
