I'm a bit late with the birthstone for August which is Peridot and this isn't it but I loved the beauty of it and the way it was photographed.
It's Rhodochrosite, only 3.5 centimetres tall and looks like a pink blossom.
It's from the Wolf Mine, Betzdorf, Seigerland, Germany and was photographed by Wimon Manorotkul.
Ooooooooooo tres pretty!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Hyacinth Bucket's hat.
ReplyDeleteThat is SO much prettier than peridot.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's so small Jayne. 3.5cm is tiny to show so much. It's on my want list.
ReplyDeleteBugger Fleetwood, you've rooned the ambience.
River, I love the green of peridot but I have it set in silver and it doesn't enhance it so I think I'll have the ring gold plated. I wouldn't knock this back though.
