DVH Rhodochrosite BIG Bead Exclamation Point Pattern OOAK Private Collection 65x24x16mm

This bold, one-of-a-kind focal bead is a true statement piece—literally! I hand-cut it from natural Rhodochrosite years ago and instantly fell in love with the striking, freeform pattern on one side that looks like a cosmic exclamation point created by the Earth herself and revealed by my cutting. I set it aside for my personal collection, and it’s been with me ever since. Over the years, I’ve worn it on and off, and it always sparks conversation.

There’s a natural fracture line near the bottom of the bead—completely healed, totally stable, and absolutely not a repair. In fact, I’ve always seen it as part of the story, a reminder that beauty deepens where the breaks have mended.

This is a large, substantial bead with a 2.5mm drill hole. Chain not included. Like many of the pieces I’m now offering from my private stash, I’m not parting with it lightly—but I’m open to the possibility that someone else out there might feel called by it just as strongly as I once did. If it speaks to you, maybe it’s time.

Metaphysically, Rhodochrosite is the stone of the compassionate heart—beloved for its ability to stir up inner joy, self-love, and emotional healing. It’s a crystal that supports deep, transformational work, especially when it comes to reclaiming the wounded child within and tending to matters of the heart. The exclamation point pattern on this bead feels especially potent, like an emphatic YES from the universe. A reminder to feel everything, to choose tenderness, and to live in alignment with your whole-hearted truth.
