Premium-Grade Rhodochrosite Pendant
A colourful rhodochrosite pendant necklace crafted in a fine sterling silver setting.
This highly polished rhodochrosite cabochon features impressive markings on both sides of the stone.
The mineral rhodochrosite is best for its pinkish-red colour. Material used for lapidary purposes tends to exhibit distinctive white markings.
Most of the world's rhodochrosite comes from South America but can also be found in the USA and South Africa.
Despite its popularity, rhodochrosite is a soft stone, so must be handled carefully.
