Rhodonite Split Necklace
Rhodonite Split Necklace from China
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.

Our necklaces are available in various designs, including faceted, ball, split and knotted necklaces. Currently, all necklaces in our range are 45 cm long, which corresponds to a standard wearing length for most neck sizes. The beads or slivers used vary in shape and finish, giving each necklace a unique character.
The bead size varies depending on the type of chain, from around 4 mm in finer models to around 8 mm in the somewhat coarser versions. For split necklaces, uneven pieces of stone are used, with the split used varying from 5 to 10 mm, giving a natural look. Knotted necklaces feature a knot between the beads, which is not only decorative but also contributes to the strength of the jewellery.
Keep in mind that not every variety is available in all designs or bead sizes.
