Peruvian Rhodochrosite Natural Gemstone Round 5mm Beads (~80pce Strand) - 40cm/16'" Strand.
Rhodochrosite contains an array of colours from light red to rose red to pink, often with black spots and veins.
The pinkness found naturally in Rhodochrosite is formed when manganese is dissolved by ground water and combines with a carbonate material and then drips off the ceiling of caves and crevices deep underground. It is found in Argentina, Peru, and Montana, U.S.
The name is derived from the Greek word "rhodon" (pink) and "chros" (colour). It is referred to as the Inca Rose by the Incas who believed the blood of their rulers turned into this stone.
