Heart of Love is a pretty 16 inch long pink necklace with a Rhodochrosite Heart pendant on 2mm Rhodonite round beads. It's completed with Delica Glass spacers and a Sterling Silver Lobster claw clasp.

Both of these gemstones are considered Stones of Love! firemountaingems.com says, "No gemstone is more luscious-looking and elegant than raspberry-colored rhodochrosite. Since a large amount of rhodochrosite formed as stalagmites in Inca silver mines abandoned in the 13th century, this gemstone is sometimes called Inca rose. Today, the world's main deposits are still found in the Inca regions of Argentina. Rhodochrosite is also the official state mineral of Colorado, no doubt partially due to the famous Sweet Home Mine located near Alma, Colorado, where rare, well-formed crystals have been found.

Change comes. Sometimes we go out and find it. Sometimes, it finds us instead. Rhodochrosite is thought to welcome all change. It is said to urge us to pay attention to our hearts and those things we hunger for, bringing out the adventuresome qualities in us and giving us new chances. When change calls to you or falls into your life, rhodochrosite is believed to help you open your arms and embrace it. Rhodochrosite is also known as a stone of compassion, promoting selfless love."

"This rosy pink gemstone gets its name from the Greek word "rhodos," meaning "rose colored." Rhodonite has been long valued as an ornamental stone. In 1979, Rhodonite was made the state gem of Massachusetts, and it is also recognized as the unofficial gemstone of the Ural Mountain region of Russia.

Something happens when you wear Rhodonite. You feel relaxed and revitalized. Rhodonite is thought to do for us what paying attention to nature always does for us: it softens our needs. It is believed to help us put petty things behind us—to remind us that leisure is important and that there's a bigger picture we often lose sight of. We pay attention to small things like the petals of tiny white daisies, the gossamer wings of a dragonfly, or a leaf pressed so long into a stone it has become part of it. That's the experience and wisdom of Rhodonite."

Remarkable! Heart of Love would be a great gift for your bestie or for yourself!
