Additional Product Details
Found in Russia and elsewhere, rhodochrosite is a semi-translucent rose pink to cherry red ornamental hardstone that was historically, and still is today carved into vases, bowls, figures, objets de vertu, and en cabochon. As round beads, its striations produce a pleasing banded effect as seen here.
This is my second purchase from the seller and, again, I can say it was a marvelous experience. The seller is highly knowledgeable, carries quality items, and is very willing to share her knowledge about the item you buy and also generalities about the times items are from. A very satisfying experience for me and highly recommended.
