Item Description
While Rhodochrosite is probably most well known from localities like the Sweet Home Mine in Colorado, or the N'Chwaning Mines in South Africa, there is a huge quantity of Rhodochrosite that comes out of the Capillitas District in Argentina every year. A large percentage of the Rhodo from Argentina isn't terribly well-crystallized or gem quality, but it does have great color and beautiful banding patterns. This particular stone is a wonderful reddish-pink, white and grey "Donut Cabochon" cut gem with good translucency, and excellent banding showing how it grew in stalactitic formations.
