Supply Chain for Rhodochrosite

This Rhodochrosite comes from Capillita Mines in Catamarca, Argentina.  The mine is famous for its Rhodochrosite stalactites with red, pink, and white bands, some of which are covered up by a layer of Pyrite or brown Rhodochrosite.  The mine has a low environmental impact.

This is a small mine in Argentina that specializes in Rhodochrosite.  Their stones are polished in house and the mine owners sell at gem shows in the United States and Europe.

I first met this source at the 2023 Denver Gem Show.  I had already finished my main buying and was actively looking for new suppliers.  What caught my attention was that their booth had only a single stone, vivid pink Rhodochrosite.  I picked out a few pieces and then asked the seller a few questions.  He was the mine owner and was happy to share about his mine which he has been working for decades.  In fact, he gave me a postcard with detailed information about the mine and its gorgeous Rhodochrosite stalactites.  While most suppliers are very shy and prefer to obscure the exact location of the mine, he was proud to tell the world.
