Rosarita Triangle Ring Size US 9 1/4 or NZ S
Rosarita Triangle Ring US: 9 ¼ / NZ: S
This rare beauty comes with a free form patterned hand made solid silver band using the lost wax method ❤️
❤️I’ve had this striking bright red triangle piece of Rosarita for many years❤️
❤️WHAT IS ROSARITA STONE? ❤️ It is a unique material, which derives its exceptionally rich, red color from the process of gold refining❤️It is a unique by-product of the 1960s and 1970s gold refining processes❤️Alaskan beach sand was smelted for its gold content and the slag by-product was Rosarita, which is essentially a gold-infused glass❤️The base material for Rosarita is silica (which is quartz particles) mixed with gold at high temperatures❤️
Old processes prior to 1960 used the old method of open crucible and fire (infused heat) to smelt the sand, leaving behind a glassy-like material in the crucible, which is known as slag❤️This gold slag was used in the 1940s through 1970s for jewelry, carvings, flint napping, etc❤️This material known as Rosarita is some of the most exceptional colored gold slag ever produced❤️Most other slag were mostly red in color but not nearly as vivid as the magnificent Rosarita❤️
Rosarita is no longer produced because of improved efficiency in gold refinement❤️Modern processes extract nearly all of the gold out of the sand, leaving an un-remarkable clear glass slag without the deep red color that makes Rosarita so beautiful❤️
