Copper earrings on which I mounted 24 / 21mm Rhodonite stones weighing 9.7g together and 40mm black oxidized brass circles.
Rhodonite is a mineral belonging to the group of silicates and the family of pyroxenoids.
The name rhodonite comes from the Greek "rhodon", pink, root word also from the rhododendron plant or another mineral, rhodochrosite.
In ancient Rome and Greece, rhodonite was worn as protective amulets against the attacks of malandrines ...
A 16th century trade book describes this stone as beneficial: it would bring joy, intelligence and memory to its owner while preserving its honor.
This mineral is very popular in Russia, where it has been used to make all kinds of objects and also as decoration material for buildings. Thus, Tsar Alexander II, who was emperor of Russia from 1855 to 1881, father of 16 children of several different women, became a widower for the first time in 1880. He made for his deceased wife, Maria Alexandrovna, a tomb carved in a single block of 49 tons rhodonite, the largest ever found in the Urals! The sarcophagus itself weighed seven tons. In the museums and palaces of St. Petersburg, you can admire vases, rhodonite basins and even columns covered with this stone.
It is a balance stone that calms the stress of its holder. Full of sweetness, restorative, it would help to overcome the high quality emotional wounds and trauma of the past.
These earrings measure a total of 8.5 cm.
These are unique items!
