Big Sur "Rhodonite" Pi-Disc #1
$125.00
This is a large Rhodonite Pi-Disc from Big Sur California. This is a realy nice mix of bubble gum pink and black with some brown mixed in. The disc is slightly tapered in thickness from the center to the outer edge which has a substancial edge thickness. All edges have been rounded and polished. I spend a lot of time on the detail of all my items which makes this a very nice high quality nephrite jade Pi-Disc.
Cording:
If you want a cord with this, it is recomended to see the cording option in the beads or pendants page. Choose either a cord with black jade toggle or matching rhodonite toggle. I will pre-set the lenght for you.

Material History
Big Sur Rhodonite History:
I have acquired some really nice Big Sur Rhodonite. This is the good stuff. Bubble gum pink with few area of magnesium oxide "The black area commonly found in Rhodonite". I personally do not mind the black/pink mix. I think it is a great contrast. Most Rhodonite found around the world is either a duller pink or shades to red with a lot of black and brown mixes. Rhodonite is commonly confused with Rhodochrosite. This color in Big Sur is highly sought after. This material is a rare Rhodonite because of the solid color matrix.
About
Proud to say one of my specialties at Jadedivers.com is making one of kind custom beads found almost no where in the world. Most of my beads are going to have cone tapered ends that are deburred and polished. My photos are taken to show the natural colors without photo enhancements. I believe this will best represent the colors and promote repeat customers.
Branching into Pi/Bi Discs and Bangles, I provide the quality of the best offered. None of my designs are mass produced and material selection is always individually chosen even in the smalles beads. My Discs are unique in that they are mostly done by hand and not be "donut" cutting machines.
** Note: Many items stated to be "Jade" on Etsy and Ebay are not. In many cases, price does not indicate this either so buying an expensive item may be a jade replica like glass. There are many other stones including agate, grossular garnet, serpentine (many forms), aventurine... being sold as jade. To make it worse and more complicated, many jadeite stones are being reconditioned and died to be very attractive so they pass general tests to be real. If you see very clear bangles, odds are they are agate, glass or something else. If you see very bright colors of red, yellow, purple... most likely not real. I say this as many buyers are being fooled on-line by these practices.
