1. ORIGIN
------------------------------------------------------------
Rhodochrosite is a manganese-bearing carbonate mineral, rose-red to pink, often with white or grey wavy banding and a soft, lovely tone.
Main deposits: Argentina (the most celebrated fine source), South Africa, the United States, Peru and Romania.
With a Mohs hardness of about 3.5-4 (fairly soft), it is suited to grinding into 8mm round beads (handle with care).
Its pink color comes from manganese, and it is known as a 'stone of love and self-love.'
2. HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Rhodochrosite was mined in South America in the Inca region as early as the 13th century, where the Incas regarded it as the 'blood of the rose' and used it in ritual and ornament.
Argentine rhodochrosite is called 'Rosa del Inca' (Inca Rose) for its beautiful banding.
In modern crystal culture it is a classic 'stone of compassion and self-love.'
