FINE 'INCA ROSE' DESIGNER CAB
RHODOCHROSITE (“INCA ROSE”) DESIGNER CABOCHON (ARGENTINA) – 21.4 ct.

I cut this stone from classic Argentine Catamarca rhodochrosite purchased a long time ago. It’s sometimes called “Inca Rose,” honoring its origin in ancient abandoned Inca silver mines where it forms in masses and stalactites. Export of rough stone is now embargoed. High quality material is very scarce. Weight approx. 21.4 ct. Measurements approx. 24.4 x 9.5 x 5.4 mm. (Some care, N)

Price: $29.00
