Pink Rhodonite
The stone
The rose stone
Rhodonite is a manganese mineral, rose pink and often veined with black manganese oxide, so every bead carries its own markings. Its name comes from the Greek rhódon, meaning “rose”. It was a favourite for carving in imperial Russia, where the finest comes from the Ural Mountains, and it's the official gemstone of Massachusetts.

Caring for Pink Rhodonite
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Keep away from perfume, lotions and household cleaners, and take it off for the gym, swimming and the washing-up. Store in its pouch so harder stones can't scratch it.
