This striking heart pendant features rosarita, a stone that is rapidly becoming highly popular. Rosarita is a by-product of gold smelting. When heated to high temperatures, the gold from the ore sinks to the bottom while the rest of the ore solidifies into a red rock. Rosarita was once discarded, but jewelers have discovered it as an eco-friendly alternative to red coral, which (sadly) is increasingly rare.
Rosarita has a lovely high gloss, and this stone has beautifully contoured striping. It is complemented by sterling silver balls and flowers, and comes with a sterling silver chain.
Length 2-1/2″ including bail (2″ without), width 1-1/4″, 0.63 oz.
NOTE: Shades of rosarita may appear different in different lighting/backgrounds and on various monitors/devices.
