2.55" Polished Rhodonite Palm Stone - Madagascar

This is a beautiful, 2.55" wide, polished palm stone of rhodonite from Ampanihy, Madagascar. The black veins that interrupt the pink rhodonite stone are manganese oxide.

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.
