Comments:
This lot of rhodonite is as juicy as you can believe. Each and every one of these is a cherry bomb. It's all high-end cabbing rough. If oriented properly to avoid cleavage planes, it can be cabbed up to make incredible gems. They're SO pink/red and take a great polish.
Keep some as crystals, cab a few, and maybe even re-sell some! whatever strikes you!
NOTE: The photo of the two cabochons is to illustrate the finished results of cabbing this material! They DO NOT COME WITH PURCHASE OF THIS LISTING! They are to show what the material polishes up to as cabochons ONLY. The cabochons are actual pieces from this lot.
