Minerals from Argentina

Argentina is probably best known for high quality pink Rhodochrosite, as well as fine specimens of Agate, Topaz, Magnetite, Hematite and Quartz.

A recent discovery of pink Quartz geodes has some mineralogists a little flummoxed, with some referring to the material as ‘pink Amethyst’ and some insisting it is an iron-stained Quartz.
