This stunning Rhodochrosite free form comes from the famous Capillitas Mine in Andalgalá, Catamarca, Argentina, one of the world’s best-known localities for classic banded Rhodochrosite.
This piece features beautiful natural pink, cream and white banding accented by natural Pyrite inclusions, adding flashes of metallic gold throughout the stone and giving the piece even more character.
The polished free-form shape highlights the Rhodochrosite’s natural patterning while allowing the Pyrite inclusions to stand out beautifully. At approximately 20 oz, this is a substantial collector’s piece with a strong display presence.
Rhodochrosite is traditionally associated with love, compassion, emotional healing and self-worth, while Pyrite is commonly associated with confidence, abundance, motivation and protection.
