Rhodochrosite and Neon Blue Apatite Necklace


This is by far my favorite piece, since I started the beading. I normally don't bead, but I decided to learn since there were so many unique, and special beads available. I have had the Rhodochrosite, focal bead since Christmas but just couldn't find what I really liked it with. Then I found these neon blue Apatite beads, and I fell in love. Rhodochrosite is from Argentina, at least this one is. It is large, and in charge, and pear shaped. The necklace measures 18 inches in length without the focal bead, and has a magnetic clasp for easy getting on, and off. This piece is now available in my Etsy store. I do offer a free layaway service, should anyone want to use it.

Lovely and Simple Rhodochrosite Ring

Rhodochrosite is a lovely pink gemstone. It is almost always found in cabachon form, but recently has been available in faceted form. It is very pricey, and expensive, in faceted stones. This lovely Rhodochrosite is 5.5mm round cabachon, from Argentina. It is a lovely pink color, with very little if any banding noted. It is set in a sterling silver simple ring setting, it is a size 6. Rhodochrosite has a hardness of only 4 on the Moh's hardness scale, every day wear is not recommended. This lovely ring is available for sale, here on my blog, or in my Etsy store. If you are interested in it, you can visit my Etsy store Missy69, or contact me to buy through this blog. Price is 24.99
