Each of these Rhodochrosite Heart beads is a work of nature's art! Beautiful pink color is decorated with creamy white banding (and almost none of the grey or black inclusions that are typically seen in this gemstone). Each bead is nicely fabricated and polished. Beads are drilled as shown in the picture (please note that the bottom hole opening does not go through the tip of the heart but is to the side). Overall size is about 18x15mm. Sold individually.

Item #: GBS-R45-RHC

Availability:

Rhodochrosite used for beads is formed in caves and primarily comes from Argentina. The gemstone is then sent to China to be fabricated into beads. Our current stock of 4.5mm Rhodochrosite has lots of pink tones and not quite as much white banding as usual. You'll also see some flecks of black or grey inclusions in this stock. A few beads may be drilled slightly off center, as shown in the picture.

Due to the high price of this gemstone, we sell 4.5mm Rhodochrosite by the bead. 44 beads will string a length of approximately 8 inches.

Item #: GBS-R60-RHC/P

Availability:

This is the same gemstone as our regularly stocked Rhodochrosite - but in a creamy light pink color that we call "Powder Puff Pink". You won't see much of the distinct banding that is found in more expensive Rhodochrosite - just well mixed color tones. You'll also occasionally see tiny black inclusions, as shown in the picture. Because these beads are so affordable, they are sold by strand (rather than by bead). 6mm round beads strung on strands that are 15.5" in length.

Every once in a while, we get a chance to pick up some donuts in this wonderful gemstone. They tend to be on the expensive side - but the pink color and the intricate banding makes it worth it! The donuts will have some of the pale grey or tan banding or small black sections typical of this gemstone. None of our current stock has as much black as the donut to the left in the picture, but the level of grey banding is representative. 30mm Rhodochrosite Round Gemstone Donut, sold each.
