AAA Rhodochrosite Palmstone #2

Material: Rhodochrosite (Banded Manganese Carbonate) Finish: High Polish Palmstone Origin: Capillitas Mine, Catamarca, Argentina These gel-grade Rhodochrosite palmstones display strong saturation with layered pink banding ranging from soft rose to deep raspberry red. The pieces show classic Capillitas-style zoning: translucent pink sections, rhythmic white bands, and darker manganese-rich matrix creating sharp visual contrast. Certain areas exhibit a semi-translucent “gel” quality where light penetrates the surface, enhancing internal depth. Natural vugs, healed fractures, and growth layering are visible in sections, confirming authenticity while adding character. Each palmstone has a smooth, high polish that highlights the band structure and color variation. Photographs were taken in both studio and natural lighting to accurately represent tone, banding, and surface clarity. Please message us for any questions. You receive the exact piece you select.
