Item Description
Argentina has provided a tremendous amount of stalagtitic Rhodochrosite with a beautiful pink color banding, but rarely is the material gemmy enough for faceting as most of it is either slabbed or cabbed. With that said, this is one of the gemmier stones of Rhodo from Argentina that I've offered in a while. This "Round Cabochon" cut has a velvety interior, and the color is a bright pink with an orange overtone. A unique and attractive gem to add to a rare stone collection. The high end retail value on this stone is $174.50.
