Rhodochrosite faceted rondelles are 20 1/2 inches long and there is a sweet little Rose Quartz heart in the middle of this Rose Heart necklace! It's said that these are both "Stones of Love" that will heal your heart and also send out and bring in LOVE! I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a Pewter heart shaped toggle clasp to finish Rose Heart.
