[Rockhounds] galena&rhodochrosite

[Pmodreski at aol.com]

If you can post a picture of the specimen somewhere that we can look at,  
perhaps one of us can offer a good guess.  Colorado rhodochrosite from  different 
mines differs in the depth of color and the lustrousness vs.  chalkiness of 
the crystals, and it might be possible to make an educated guess  where yours 
is from.  Some galena is often present with it, but it would be  unusual to see 
rhodo encrusting a galena crystal as you describe.
