Portugal custom bracelets gold The source of rhodolite-rhodochrosite

Rhodochrosite is a kind of manganese carbonate mineral and belongs to the trigonal crystal system. The crystals are rhombohedrons and are often produced as aggregates. They are granular blocks, milky, stalactites, nodules, and nodules with concentric layered patterns inside. It has glass luster to pearl luster, transparent to translucent, hardness 3.5-4.5. The color of rhodochrosite is mostly rose red, which is the typical color of the mineral. There are also pink, dark red, light yellow, light gray and brown colors. Its pink color is caused by manganese, and it becomes lighter with the increase of calcium content, but the surface is easy to oxidize and turns into brownish black. At the same time, the dark red variant has weak dichroism. Rhodochrosite has no characteristic color inclusions and no fluorescence effect. It is refractory and will foam when exposed to hydrochloric acid.

Rhodochrosite is low in hardness, brittle, poor in toughness, and difficult to process. However, because of its beautiful crystals, it is still used as a gemstone. High-quality transparent to translucent rose-red rhodochrosite crystals can be polished and processed into faceted gems, while pink opaque blocks can be made into cambered gems, but both are rare and mainly used for collection.

Rhodochrosite gemstones are rare. The Privy Council of the United Kingdom has a red rhodochrosite gemstone that has been processed into an oval shape. It weighs 59.65 carats and is very precious. It was produced in South Africa. The Smithsonian Museum in Washington also has a rhodochrosite gemstone weighing 9.5 Carat is also produced in South Africa; in recent years, massive rhodochrosite with different shades of pink strips has become a very good decorative material, and it is also used to make carvings and stone viewing. The Chinese jewelry industry uses Rhodochrosite produced in Argentina to make jewelry such as necklaces and bracelet beads, called “rhodolite”, and there is also a certain market.

Rhodochrosite can be formed under endogenous or exogenous effects, such as produced in hydrothermal veins, associated with iron, aluminum, gold, silver and copper ore and other manganese minerals, and can also be distributed in large amounts in sedimentary manganese deposits . The famous origins of rhodochrosite in the world are the United States, South Africa, Argentina, Madagascar, Romania, Spain, Germany, Mexico, Brazil and Australia. The most exquisite pink-crimson rhodochrosite is produced in Colorado and other places in the United States. The crimson rhodochrosite crystals are mostly produced in South Africa, and the high-quality lump and band rhodochrosite are mostly from Catamarca Province, Argentina.
