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.

Points

Our collection of points includes natural as well as polished and polished specimens, sourced from various countries. We supply points from Madagascar, China, Brazil and India, among others. These differences in origin create distinct variations in shape, finish and appearance.

Madagascar points are generally a bit more substantial in shape, with rounder facets and a more robust look. Chinese points, on the other hand, are tighter and sharper cut, often a bit smaller and with a more refined finish. Both countries usually supply hexagonal shapes. The points from India are usually square in ground shape and slightly less pointed than the variants from China, giving them a character of their own.

Most items have a minimum order of 500 grams. You will receive a selection from the range available at that time. We always select the most beautiful and varied combinations according to our own taste. Please note that sizes may vary per stone type, country and delivery, so the size selection may be wider. We try to indicate this as best we can in the product information.
