This is a gorgeous piece of rhodonite. The black dendrites almost paint a picture of trees on a hillside, standing out against the vibrant shades of pink. It is flat on both sides, the edges are squared, and it has been lightly polished all around (not to a mirror shine). It is 2.7" x 2.3" x .2" (69x57x6mm) and weighs 2.8 ounces (80 grams). It serves beautifully as a display piece but could be used an an over-sized cabochon in a special jewelry creation.

Rhodonite Heart Cabochon Item# 4609 Price: $45.00
This pretty cab is approximately 41 x 17 mm, and 6 mm thick. We acquired the unusual purple material from an old collection. After having a small piece analyzed by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), it was identified as having a make-up of 'Dumortierite, Tourmaline, Rutile and possible additional minerals.' The stone does not have a mirror shine, but is none-the-less a beautiful specimen of this rare material.
