Rhodochrosite cab ~
Offered here is a collectible cabochon of top notch rhodochrosite, from Argentina, cut from a cross-section of rare stalactite. Not easy to come by like it once was, last I heard, the price of material from the classic Inca Rose location is strictly controlled by the Argentinian goverment. -grr- This gemmy gel-like cab features vibrant pink coloration that's simply glowing. Deliciously appealing! It does have the typical crystalline veil inclusions, with a single well-formed bullseye, and a delightful degree of warm translucence. It's truly a keeper, cut from rough I will probably never be able to replace. The stone is impressively sized, with a nicely rounded dome of 6mm, and a great glossy polish both front and back.
Size: 33x25mm
Weight: approximately 48 carats
Price: SOLD See current gemstones for sale
