Rhodonite, the member of the pyroxenoid group of minerals, is a manganese inosilicate. Its name is derived from the Greek word “rhodos”, which means rose, as the stone displays a rosy pink color. Rhodonite comes with a hardness of 5.5 to 6.5 Moh and a triclinic crystal system. Transparent to translucent in appearance, rhodonite gemstones usually display a vitreous to pearly luster when polished. Rhodonites can be sourced from Australia, Finland, Japan, Canada, Madagascar, Mexico, Russia, Sweden, South Africa, Tanzania, and the USA. You can  buy natural rhodonites at GemsforJewels in beautiful strands. Available in hues of pink and red, this semi-precious stone comes with slight inclusions of black color.
