No update here for nearly 3 years, but my new rhodochrosite (well, new in the collection, but mined between the 1880s and early 1920s) is a real Hessian classic and needs to be mentioned here:
| Mineral: | Rhodochrosite |
| Locality: | | Bockenrod, Reichelsheim, Odenwald, Hesse/Hessen, Germany | |
|
| Dimensions: | Specimen height 9 cm |
| Description: |
| Thin layers of rhodochrosite on brown matrix, typical specimen specimen from Bockenrod in southern Hesse. Mined ~ 100-130 ago. |
