Whether you're already familiar with crystal energy or simply drawn to unique natural stones, Rhodonite has a story worth exploring.

What Is Rhodonite?

Rhodonite is a manganese silicate mineral recognized by its distinctive pink to rose-red color, often streaked or veined with dramatic black manganese oxide. This contrast gives Rhodonite an earthy, artistic look that stands out beautifully in jewelry.

The word “Rhodonite” comes from the Greek rhodos, meaning “rose,” a nod to its rich rosy hue. Throughout history, it has been used as a protective and healing stone, particularly in Eastern Europe and Russia.
