- Pretty pink Rhodochrosite rondelles 3x5mm on 16-inch strands
- Semi-opaque Rhodochrosite offers much more saturated color than rose quartz
- Rondelles serve many purposes, their convex edges help jewelry drape smoothly and their narrow profile means they can provide the perfect small accent of color, and finally they add interest to designs with a change of shape from round beads
- The gem's name comes from the Greek for it's rosy color, but some of the best specimens from South America have been called Inca Rose.
- Rhodochrosite often forms around near hydrothermal activity, where superheated water circulates through veins in the rocks. Examples include the Sweet Home Mine in Colorado, Capillitas in Argentina and the N'Chwanig mines in South Africa.
- Robert Simmons recommends placing Rhodochrosite over the heart during meditation or sleep to cleanse, soothe and heal the energy field around the heart for emotional healing.
