10.7" Tall, Polished Rhodonite Obelisk - Madagascar

This is a beautiful, 10.7" tall rhodonite obelisk, mined in Madagascar. The polish on this specimen is excellent and the tip is undamaged. The base has been cut flat, though at a slight angle, leaving the obelisk with somewhat of a lean.

Rhodonite is a manganese silicate well known among collectors for its beautiful pink and red colors. The red variety can be so deep red that it rivals rubies in color. Rhodonite often has black manganese oxide veins running through its masses, giving it a distinct look with pink with black crisscrossing lines and flower-like formations throughout.
