Noteworthy Locations
There are many localities where fine Rhodochrosite specimens have been obtained from:
Blood red, clear, scalenohedral crystals come from Kuruman and Hotazel, South Africa. Good specimens have also come from Kapnik, Romania and from the Wolf Mine in Siegerland, Germany. Banded Rhodochrosite stalagmites and stalactites come from the ancient silver mines of Catamarca, Argentina. Fine scalenohedral crystals were found in Peru in the Hullapon mine, Ancash, and the Huaron mine, Cerro de Pasco. In Mexico it occurs in Magdalena and Cananea, Sonora.
Much fine material also comes from the U.S. The mines yielding the most beautiful crystals are in Colorado, particularly the Sweet Home Mine near Alma, Park Co., Colorado. It originally worked for the silver it produced, but then stunning, bright red Rhodochrosite specimens started pouring out of the mine. Fine specimens have also been obtained in Colorado at the St. Elmo and Mary Murphy Mines in Chaffee Co., the Eagle Mine, Gilman Co., Leadville, Lake Co., and the Silverton mining district in San Juan Co. Large crystals and aggregates, pink in color, were found in Butte, Silver Bow Co., and Phillipsburg, Granite Co., Montana.
