The crystal chosen for each pendant is a testament to nature's artistry, selected for its distinctive beauty and exceptional characteristics, ensuring that no two pieces are alike.
The pendant features an organically textured silver bezel, which not only secures the precious crystal but also adds an element of refined rusticity to the piece.

The pendant is equipped with a 3mm tubular bail, allowing for seamless integration with other pendants from the collection or striking simplicity when worn alone.
In response to our discerning clientele's preferences, we offer customization options for the pendant's silver component.

Rhodochrosite
Classification: Carbonate Mineral
Chemical Composition: MnCO3 (Manganese Carbonate)
Hardness: 3.5–4.5 on the Mohs scale
Source: Notable deposits can be found in Argentina, Peru, Colorado (USA), South Africa, and Romania.
Symbolic Meanings:
Love and compassion
Emotional healing and release
Self-awareness and inner peace
Joy and creativity
Associations:
Element: Water
Zodiac Signs: Leo, Scorpio
Chakra: Heart Chakra
Historical and Cultural Use:
Rhodochrosite has been revered for its striking beauty and its deep pink-to-red colouration. In Argentina, it is known as "Inca Rose," as it was believed to be the blood of former Incan rulers turned to stone. Historically, it has been used in various cultures for jewellery and ornamental objects. Rhodochrosite is also valued in metaphysical practices for its powerful emotional healing properties.
Geological Properties:
Rhodochrosite forms in hydrothermal veins associated with manganese and silver deposits, where it can grow into large, well-formed crystals or rhombohedral shapes. It is also found in sedimentary deposits such as stalactites and stalagmites. The stone's characteristic bands of pink, white, and cream are due to variations in manganese content, creating unique, beautiful patterns in each specimen.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Rhodochrosite is known as a stone of the heart, believed to attract love and encourage compassion, deeper emotional connections, and openness to love after heartbreak. It is thought to gently bring painful and repressed feelings to the surface, allowing for their release and healing. This process promotes self-love, and self-forgiveness, and improves self-esteem. Rhodochrosite also stimulates creativity and innovation, making it beneficial for those in creative fields.
Collectibility and Use:
Rhodochrosite is highly prized by collectors for its distinct colour and patterning. In jewellery, it is often cut as cabochons or used as beads, showcasing its unique banded patterns. Due to its relative softness, it requires care in setting and wearing. In addition to decorative uses, rhodochrosite is used in meditation and healing work to balance the heart chakra, enhance compassion, and support emotional healing.
Care and Maintenance:
Due to its lower hardness, rhodochrosite should be handled carefully to avoid scratches and damage. It can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft brush but should not be exposed to harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners. Store rhodochrosite away from harder gemstones to prevent scratches and avoid sudden temperature changes that could cause it to crack.
