This specimen consists of a solid mass of banded rhodochrosite, likely the head of a stalactite. The botryoidal surface has a brown color while the layers on the polished side vary from deep to light antique pinks and deep to light brownish pinks.

I have aquired this one from an old collector on Luttich mineral show, Belgium in 2015. One side is sawn and polished.
