Care has been taken to ensure that weights and measurements are as accurate as possible, however please do note that these are only approximate.

These specimens are in their natural raw form and shedding of small crystals is normal. Natural inclusions, cracks and pockets are all visible and all part of the natural stone. Please handle with extra care. These are very fragile stones.

Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral. In its (rare) pure form, it is typically a rose-red colour, but impure specimens can be shades of pink to pale brown.
