Argentinian Rhodochrosite Rosary
Argentinian Rhodochrosite Rosary
These stunning stones are beautiful Argentinian rhodochrosite. They feature amazing banding, with a lovely pallet of colors ranging from cream white to pink to rose red. They are very finely cut beads, with tight drills and a fantastic polish. The aves are plump 7mm beads, sized at nearly 7.5 millimeters. The Pater beads are matching Argentinian rhodochrosite, cut into bold cylinders. Rhodochrosite in super high quality such as these stones can be very hard to find!
The wild roses center features extra sharp details, and is decorated with rose petals and leaves. The Edwardian crucifix features a very unique style, with leaf motifs that appear to be flowing with the wind.
This piece is very tightly constructed and feels wonderful to handle. The stones are heavier than they appear, leading to a satisfying weight in the hand while strong 19 gauge wire lets you use it with confidence. This piece would make a wonderful heirloom and a splendid addition to any collection.
