Description

  • Approximate beads per strand: 115
  • Origin: Peru
  • What is it: Rhodochrosite occurs as a hydrothermal vein along with other manganese minerals in low temperature ore deposits as in silver mines. Mohs hardess of 3.5 to 4. For being a softer stone, it is very difficult to cut, and therefore rarely found faceted in jewelry.
  • History: It was first discovered in 1813 at a silver mine in present day Romania.
  • Metaphysical Properties: Rhodochrosite is known as the stone of the compassionate heart. It symbolizes selfless love and empathy.
  • Because gemstones are natural materials, appearances may vary from bead to bead
