Looks more like aquamarine on mica

That's because it IS aquamarine on mica.

Rhodochrosite is pink or reddish. Maybe this will help you remember, rhoda is Greek for rose and also for the color red. Mixing up pyrite and mica is an easy mistake as they do have a similar appearance.

Looking forward to it if you find any. We don't have anything in storage now but we have a lot of boxes we're still going through and it's been 8 months since we moved.
