Rhodochrosite has a Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4, making it softer than many gemstones. A pendant is ideal because the stone hangs away from hard surfaces. Sterling silver settings protect the stone's edges from chips.
The highest quality rhodochrosite comes from Argentina, particularly the Capillitas mine. Other sources include Colorado, Peru, and South Africa. Argentine stones typically show the most defined pink and white banding.
Clean with a soft dry cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and prolonged water exposure. Store separately from harder gemstones that could scratch the surface.
