Rhodochrosite cab ~
Offered here is a cabochon of rhodochrosite, from Argentina, cut from scarce old stock material. Not easy to come by like it once was, last I heard, the price of classic rhodochrosite is strictly controlled by the Argentinian goverment. -grr- This magnificent stone features lovely pink coloration, with sharply contrasting dark silvery metallics. Some of the bands have intricate dogtoothed spikes in palest pink pastels. I'm told the metallic ore area probably contains at least some precious silver content, and as hinted at in the pics, reflected light reveals that it has interesting moire patterns to it, too. This beauty has a designer teardrop shape with a well rounded dome of 7.5mm, polished to a lustrous gloss both front and back.
Size: 39x15mm
