Rhodonite Origins & Background
Rhodonite is a manganese silicate mineral recognized by its distinctive pink coloration contrasted with black manganese veining or matrix. This natural combination of pink and black gives Rhodonite its characteristic grounding yet heart-centered nature.
Notable sources include Russia, Australia, Brazil, Madagascar, Peru, New Zealand, and the USA. Russian Rhodonite, historically used in decorative stonework, is particularly well known for its deep pink tones and bold black patterning.
Rhodonite has long been valued as a stone of emotional balance, compassion, and grounded heart energy, making it especially popular for relationship work and emotional healing.
Rhodonite Geological Information
Rhodonite is a manganese inosilicate mineral that typically forms in metamorphic environments and manganese-rich deposits. The black veining commonly seen in Rhodonite is usually manganese oxide formed through natural alteration.
