Rhodonite
Rhodonite is a manganese silicate known for its pink to reddish colour, often with black veins of manganese oxide. The mineral usually forms in metamorphic rocks and is found worldwide. The striking colour combination makes rhodonite popular for decorative applications and jewellery.
Major deposits include Russia, Australia, Sweden and Peru. Its chemical formula is MnSiO₃. Rhodonite has a hardness of 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale.
Popular varieties are pink rhodonite with black matrix and deep pink to reddish varieties from Russia and Madagascar, among others.
