"Wow - so today I visited the new Detroit City mine, Alma, Colorado. As you know this is a new mine directly above the famous (and closed) Sweet Home mine that produced some of the world’s finest rhodochrosite specimens. Being 500 feet inside the mountain at 11,600 feet elevation looking at the steeply dipping vein system with numerous ‘spots’ of rhodochrosite along the structure was incredible and you realise the effort and sheer amount of endeavor, hard work and difficulty in both finding and collecting these amazing specimens - it has to be seen to be believed. This incredible specimen came from the ‘Strawberry’ pocket ( Sweet Home) in 1998. A superb group of lustrous gemmy red rhodochrosite rhombs on which are perched beautifully modified pale lilac cubes of fluorite - what a combination. Now I have seen first hand the environment these come from, I have a new appreciation of not only these, but the wonder of nature. Detroit City mine, let’s hope you follow your illustrious ‘partner’ below. A dream came true today. Thanks to Bryan Lees and his great team at @collectorsedgeminerals for the day and also showing some superb specimens. Collectors Edge mineral specimen 🙏🏼👍🏻"
