About This Collection

Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral celebrated for its extraordinary range of pink to deep rose-red colouration, often displaying stunning concentric banding of alternating light and dark pink layers that make each specimen a breathtaking work of natural art. It forms in hydrothermal veins and sedimentary deposits associated with silver, lead, and copper ore deposits, and its name derives from the Greek words for "rose" and "colour." Argentina is the world's most celebrated source of Rhodochrosite, producing the iconic stalactitic formations that when sliced reveal the mesmerising concentric pink banding for which the stone is most famous — so significant is this association that Rhodochrosite is the national gemstone of Argentina, where it is known as the "Rosa del Inca" or "Inca Rose." Colorado, USA, also produces exceptional gem-quality transparent red crystals of great collector value from the Sweet Home Mine.
