About Rhodonite
Rhodonite is a striking pink manganese silicate mineral known for its rich rose to deep pink coloration, often accented by dramatic black veins of manganese oxide that create beautiful, natural contrast. Found in metamorphic rocks, this mineral typically forms through the alteration of manganese-rich deposits under heat and pressure. Major sources include Australia, Russia, Peru, Sweden, Canada, and the United States—particularly Massachusetts and New Jersey—where it has long been prized for its ornamental and lapidary qualities.
When polished, Rhodonite reveals a smooth, glassy luster that highlights its vivid pink hues and distinctive veining. It is a favorite among collectors and lapidary artists for cabochons, beads, carvings, and tumbled stones. Each piece showcases nature’s artistry, balancing soft color with bold patterning, making Rhodonite one of the most visually captivating and recognizable pink stones in the mineral world.
