Size and shape may vary in pairs but have been matched as close as possible. Each stalactite is unique in colour and pattern.

These have no pre-drilled holes.

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 slices are cut from natural stone. 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.
