A stone demonstrating a wide range of pink, purple and earth tones, rhodonite is found in a few places along New Zealand's West Coast, including the Arahura and Hokitika Rivers. This material was found in Akatore near Dunedin, and demonstrates complex patterning and a broad and earthy colour palette. With a base of soft pink accented by dappled black and earth-brown clouding, it's definitely a piece to catch the eye.
 
Measuring in at 46mm deep and 39mm wide, this heart has a high gloss finish that shows off its rich colour range and a lopsided, three-dimensional form that takes it out of the realm of the typical and boring love-heart cut-out pendant. A great piece for the special person in your life, great for everyday or fancy wear.
