Rhodochrosite Stalactite Pendant

by Nancy Bailey.
(New Mexico)

This material has always captivated me.

While at a recent Rock Show, I was so fortunate to have acquired some beautiful Rhodochrosite stalactites from Argentina.

This material has gotten quite rare.

After cutting a slice and creating a cabochon, it was wrapped in sterling silver wire using a cold forge technique.

It really showcases this beautiful stone.
