What is Rhodonite?

Rhodonite is a manganese silicate mineral recognized for its signature pink coloration, often accented by black matrix patterns caused by manganese oxide inclusions. This unique combination creates the distinct marbled look that makes rhodonite highly desirable in jewelry design.
