Rhodochrosite cab ~
Offered here is a collectibly rare, gorgeous, and HUGE cabochon of rhodochrosite, from Argentina, cut from a cross-section of rare stalactite, the largest of this type that I've ever offered online. Not easy to come by like it once was, last I heard, the price of material from the classic Inca Rose location is strictly controlled by the Argentinian goverment. -grr- Cabs of this enormous size and caliber may very well exist 'out there' somewhere, locked away in someone's vault, perhaps, but I've never seen any that come close to this one, have you?? This remarkably gemmy gel-like stone features vibrant pink coloration that's invitingly glowing. Simply delicious! It has but a few of the typical crystalline veil inclusions within, several intricate bullseyes in a variety of sizes and shapes, and a delightful degree of warm translucence. Beautifully scalloped bands too. This deluxe beauty has a FAT designer 'teardrop' shape, with a generously rounded dome of 6mm, and it is polished to a lustrous brilliance both front and back. The backside is pictured, to illustrate its natural bubbly void.
Size: 45x36mm
Weight: approximately 120 (WOW!!!) carats
