Rhodonite with Matrix 40mm Donut Pendant

Rhodonite, whose name is derived from the Greek word for Rose, “rhodon,” is known for its pink, red and magenta hues. A Manganese inosilicate (or chain silicate), Rhodonite belongs to the Pyroxenoid group of minerals. It was originally found in the Ural mountains of Russia, where it was observed that the stone was often carried by eagles to their nests. This earned it the Russian name “orletz” or Eagle Stone.

Since gemstones (natural, enhanced, or man-made) have variations in colors and patterns, the one you receive may look different from what is shown.
