Origin of Rhodochrosite 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

    local craftsmen from then & there

    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
