10.3" Free-Standing, Polished Rhodonite Section - Northern B.C.

This is a 10.3" wide, cut/polished section of rhodonite (manganese carbonate) mined in northern British Columbia, Canada. Two edges and the face of the specimen have been polished to a mirror-finish, making for a beautiful, decorative piece. The backside of this specimen has been left rough.

This rhodonite section can stand nicely on one edge, measuring 7.5" tall in this position. Even though it can stand nicely on its own, it's accompanied by an acrylic display stand to assist with preferred presentation.

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.
