This beauty is from an older rock collection prior to the rhodochrosite mines yielding poorer quality specimens. The rhodochrosite is a bright, clear color with a streak of quartz crystal down the middle. The necklace is made primarily of tourmaline with a compliment of pink peruvian opal. The rhodochrosite, pink peruvian opal, and the tourmaline are stones of love - and you can really feel a warm, caring experience to put this necklace on.
