What is Rhodochrosite?
This fascinating gemstone appears in hydrothermal veins and altered manganese deposits and is beloved for its unusual tones of pink, rose and red. It may form as transparent crystals or as the banded rhodochrosite featured in this pair of handcrafted earrings - a blend of marbled pinks in both translucent and opaque elements. With a hardness of 3.5 - 4, it is easily shaped into globes and beads of rich polished luster.

Though rhodochrosite is found all over the world, some of the richest mines are located in Colorado and it has been chosen as the state mineral there. The name derives from the Greek for rose colored. Apparently this beautiful semi-precious gemstone went undocumented in writing until the early 19th century, but it has since become a popular choice for jewelry making. The unusual colors and often rosebud-shaped growth of rhodochrosite crystals make it a true treasure.

Afraid To Wear Pink?
So many modern women seem to have a fear of wearing pink, either in their clothing or the jewelry, but they are overlooking the power of this warm color. The touch of pink provided by these handcrafted sterling silver and rhodochrosite earrings will do much to bring out the natural roses in your cheeks and to brighten tired eyes. If you've shied away from pink all of your life, thinking its only a color for babies, let our elegant swarovski crystal and rhodochrosite earrings be the proving ground for you. Our jewelers believe you will come to love what pink gem stones can do for every kind of complexion.

Gemstones that Mix and Match With Rhodochrosite
Most women enjoy choosing from a variety of stones to bring about a total ensemble of interesting hues and textures in their jewelry each day. May we suggest pairing these rhodochrosite earrings with a red garnet necklace, or perhaps a ruby one? The pinks and reds will glow together like a quiet, cheerful fire. Or, go for fresh, spring-toned opposites by choosing to mix the rhodochrosite with a green jasper bracelet, or one of jade, emerald or peridot. So long as you keep the sterling silver medal constant, you have a lot of room to play with in your choice of complementary gemstones and beads.
