    Looking for a little help on these pink stones

    Rondelle pearls are real. the light pink faceted ones I assume are quartz. Are the pink & white swirly ones Jasper?

    The striped ones are rhodochrosite, for sure.
    And very nice, too!
    Here's an example:

    The light pink are probably rose quartz.
    Pretty bracelet!

    Rhodochrosite

    thank you!
    I am not good with identifying stones outside of the standard precious varieties

    It's kind of an unusual stone, and a fine quality slice of it can be quite pricey!

    Both rhodochrosite and rosequartz are beautiful but also undervalued stones imo.

    Rhodochrosite is seen a lot in German Modernist jewellery, it is mined there. I come across it a lot, but have to keep myself from buying it as an investment, because overhere there is no money in it.:(

    Hnh. That solves a question. I bought cufflinks with that pink stripy stone.
