This beautiful blood-red, pear-shaped rhodonite has well-defined manganese oxide inclusions in it. The setting is a thick (5/16") Mexican sterling pendant with an over-size bail. (The pendant is hollowed out in the back, and is not solid.) Overall it is 1 1/2" long, and is the back is marked "Mexico .925." The white in the pictures is just camera flash. A very gorgeous pendant!
