Rhodonite in mineralogy

Rhodonite is a calcium manganese silicate, occurring mainly in granular and rough masses, either formed primarily by hydrothermal processes, or tertiary by contact metasomatosis with manganese-rich clay sediments.

Its colors range from pink to dark pinkish-red (manganese), often with yellow veins of spessartine and black veins of manganese oxide.

The history of Rhodonite

Rhodonite was first officially described by mineralogist Christoph Friedrich Jasche, manager of an Ilsenhourg mining plant, in 1819. It was named for its color: from the Greek rhodon, meaning "rose".

It has always been particularly prized in Russia, where it was widely used to decorate palaces and make many decorative objects.

In ancient Greece and Rome, this stone symbolized friendship and was often worn as an amulet by travelers to protect them from theft and attack.
