4" Polished Rhodonite Heart - Madagascar
This is a vibrant section of rhodonite that has been hand polished into the shape of a heart, mined in Ampanihy, Madagascar.
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.
