What a nice Rhodochrosite.
You are very lucky to have it, and you have a great aesthetic sense.
Only in my dreams.

| Nice, reminds me of a Panasqueira apatite specimen from my collection, https://www.mindat.org/photo-670797.html , similar size and shape :)
And that (10 cm!!!) wulfenite from San Francisco Mine ... AWESOME!
