This is a hand carved Peruvian rhodonite rose carving. Nice bubble gum pink color.
Peruvian rhodonite is often more expensive than regular rhodonite due to its rarity and unique characteristics, particularly its vibrant pink to red color with minimal black manganese inclusions.
Here's why:
Higher Quality: Peruvian rhodonite, specifically the bubblegum pink variety from Peru, is known for its intense pink to red hues and less black matrix compared to other rhodonite sources like Madagascar. This desirable color and clarity increase its value.
Rarity: While rhodonite in general is not considered a rare mineral, finding high-quality, translucent rhodonite is less common. Peruvian rhodonite, with its exceptional color and quality, falls into this rarer category.
Demand: The unique aesthetic of Peruvian rhodonite makes it highly sought after for both jewelry and mineral collectors, which also contributes to its higher price.
