RHODONITE

<< Back

Rhodonite is an attractive mineral that is often carved and used in jewellery. It is named after the Greek word for rose, rhodon. Its rose-pink colour is distinctive and can sometimes be confused with rhodocrosite. Rhodochrosite however is streaked with white minerals such as calcite and is reactive to acids. Rhodonite does not react to acids. Rhodonite comes from the Ural Mountains, Russia; Broken Hill, Australia; Langban, Sweden, Menas Gerais, Brazil and the USA.
Hardness 5.5 to 4
