What is Rhodonite?

Rhodonite is a manganese silicate mineral known for its rich pink to rose-red color, often veined or spotted with black manganese oxide. While Rhodonite is found globally, specimens from the USA—particularly Montana, Massachusetts, and New Jersey—stand out for their deep color saturation, bold contrast, and energetic clarity. More than just a beautiful pink stone, Rhodonite is a crystal of emotional resilience, forgiveness, and grounded love—making it a powerful tool for anyone healing from heartbreak, trauma, or self-doubt.
