An exceptionally fine gem Rhodochrosite from the often overlooked South African finds. These gems are not the bright pink of the gems from Colorado or China but are an intense red. Purity of hue is all important here, these can get dark or overly brown. Not at all the case here, the color is just what you want - bright red that doesn't darken up in lower light. This one is bright and brilliant - entirely flawless and with a fine, precision cut. Extremely attractive stone from the ‘other’ locale.
