Truly a rare and esoteric gem. Phenomena like chatoyancy and asterism are extraordinarily rare in Rhodochrosite and we have only ever seen a few, many of those feeling like reaches. This gem features an actually moderately strong 4-ray star, quite remarkable for Rhodo from any deposit, let alone Sweet Home. You will not have to imagine this one, it is distinct. Shown above with and without direct lighting.
