Natural Rhodonite

Natural Rhodonite Rhodonite is named after the Greek word for rose, rhodon. It is a popular mineral among collectors. Rhodonite is also a minor gemstone, being cut and polished into cabochons, beads, and other ornamental objects. Some massive specimens are sold to collectors after being sliced and polished.

Rhodonite's pink color often has black manganese oxide veins running through it, giving it a distinct appearance. For this reason it is carved into beads, cabochons, and ornamental objects. In 18th century Russia, it was used extensively for decorating the Russian court.

There are 15 Rhodonite(s) organised in the following categories: Cabochon LotCabochon SingleFacet LotFacet SingleRough,  gemstones. Price of our Rhodonite range from USD 16.00 to USD 99.00 and all gemstones are 100% natural. No lab, created or synthetic gemstones.

We grade our stones with strict adherence to current GIA (Gemological Institute of America) standards for color, tone, hue, saturation and clarity and all gems are identified and graded only by GIA certified gemologists.
