Rhodonite

Rhodonite is a striking manganese iodide mineral prized for its deep rose-pink to red hues, often accented by black manganese oxide veining. This gemstone has been valued for centuries in jewelry and decorative arts, known for its distinctive color and natural patterns that make each piece unique. Rhodonite is moderately durable, suitable for pendants, earrings, and brooches, though it requires careful handling to avoid scratching. Metaphysically, it's associated with compassion and emotional healing. Whether chosen for its aesthetic appeal or symbolic significance, rhodonite adds warmth and character to any jewelry collection.
