    1 Brown-Honey tones Rhodochrosite Figa (feegah...)
    .....Great banding/swirls , gorgeous patterns!!
    ...a beautiful
    VINTAGE 70's brown-honey-tonality
    Rhodochrosite good-luck charm (..as the story goes..)-amulet-pendant form , rare (brown tonality) to see in finished jewelry/charms) Measure 1in length, good condition, vintage 70's inventory never worn nor sold. Origin of rough: foothills of the Andes mountain range in Catamarca province (near city of Andalgala), Argentina....
    This particular Rhodochrosite-rough the figa-pendant was carved from was mined in the renowned Capillitas-mine (famous for it's fine Rhodochrosite output for many decades, both pink, brown (this one) and faceting grade ),
    Andalgalá-Catamarca-Argentina in 70's
    and then carved into approx.
    1.0inch-figa
    with the typical artisan finish of a rustic-gemstone pendant handcrafted by
    local craftsmen from then & there
    . The brown-honey-one  patterns are unique as is any Figa crafted from rough, because the end result is never kbown until polished in the last stage
    Condition:  good condition, unworn/never retailed piece from 1970's-inventory....crafted in Andlgalá, Argentina.
    Figas (Feegah) are historically intertwined with good-luck beliefs (ea. country-origin has it's particular connotations...fertility, luck, fortune etc...no claioims on this listing obviously) in several countries, Brazil being the main one that uses this figure-motif very  frequently in their jewelry & charms ...often they are dressed with gems, gold tops, platinum, different gemstones (aqua, lapis, amethyst etc) and are also carved out of wood in an artisan rustic fashion similar to these; often the simple carvings are the ones with most beauty.These particular ones have that artisan-rustic-finish, with a beautiful rhodochrosite-high-polish
