AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very rare specimen of rhodochrosite from the world-famous Wolf mine.
In fact, the monster is full of bags of rice grains, spray-rhodocrosite, and spherical malachite crystals!

It was considered the highest quality for European rhodochrosite (and still is, in fact). Examples are always very difficult to obtain because they are all housed in old collections or museums.
