N'chwaning rhodochrosite specimens are the most sought after rhodochrosites in the world and large specimens of good quality are extremely rare. This one is not only an excellent size, but it has the extra benefit of being heart-shaped which is quite approprite for such a red mineral specimen. This is the wheat sheaf habit of rhodochrosite crystals, and they're growing on a matrix of black manganite. There are also black manganite specks mixed in with the rhodochrosite, and also some quartz deep in the crevices between the individual rhodochorisite crystals.
