This beautiful gem was cut from the Rhodochrosite that was recovered in the newer Detroit City Portal.It is precision cut as you will see, some of the finest cut Sweet Home Rhodos I have seen. This gem is eye clean, with a 10x loupe, you will see a slight inclusion. Indoors it can look reddish pink, a more salmon coloring, or even a more orangy color, depending on the lighting.The photos show two different lighting types to help show the color shift. In the sunlight this stone is so brilliant and dispersive.Who knew that Rhodochrosite showed such great color dispersion! A fine example for any gemstone collection. ------------------------------------------------------ Please check out my other items, mineral specimens, loose gemstones and jewelry currently available for sale!International buyers......
