Rhodochrosite retailer cabochon

Rhodochrosite Cabochon

a lovely stone retailer cut from a section of a Rhodochrosite stalactite from the Capillitas Mine at Capillitas, Argentina. The Rhodochrosite is a waste rock in a hydrothermal gold/silver deposit but it is worth as much as the gold here. The Rhodochrosite is typically found as banded massive chunks but occasionally pockets are discovered that have rhodochrosite stalactites in varying shades of pink.

The stone is 31.2 mm by 20 mm by 4.6 mm thick at the thickest point and is 33 carats

All of our stones are also available as custom wire wrap pieces in either sterling silver or 14kt gold filled. If you are interested in a custom wire wrap creations, please contact us.
