Locality:

Quiruvilca Mine (La Libertad Mine; ASARCO Mine), Quiruvilca District, Santiago de Chuco Province, La Libertad Department, Peru

Spheroidal and rosette aggregates of Rhodochrosite microcrystals which have a really vivid and uniform pink coloration. They’re on matrix, with tetrahedral Tennantite-Tetrahedrite collection crystals with very well-defined terribly vivid faces and edges.
