Hi Don. I am not in any way an expert on Rhodochrosite, but find those rhodo crystals rather unusual and interesting . 1-IMG_2304.JPG ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/files/1_img_2304_132.jpg )

Great thread Don!
BTW, we saw that your photos have not the (relatively) new feature: Image upload system improvements in FMF so, it means that you are uploading the images not at 1600 pixels but with a lower size. If you have the chance to upload them at 1600 pixels, then they will look much, much, better due the increase of their image's resolution.
Thank you again for your so interesting threads and your efforts to share with us so many images!

Thank you, Pierre. These are lenticular rhodochrosite crystals that came out a number of years ago from the Wudong Mine in China.
Cheers,
Don

I appreciate your suggestion, Jordi. I will do my best to learn how to do this.
Thank you.
