Rhodonite Tumbled Stone - 10-20 mm
Product Description
These Rhodonite Tumbled Stones have a pink to rose-red body crossed with characteristic black veining, polished into smooth rounded pieces. The contrast between the warm pink and the dark manganese oxide lines gives each stone a marbled, graphic look. The small palm size makes them easy to carry, pocket, or keep in a bowl.
Rhodonite is traditionally associated with emotional balance, compassion and steady, grounded warmth, and is commonly chosen by people working through emotional processing or wanting to feel more settled in the heart. Many carry a piece through the day, hold one in quiet moments, or keep it where they want a calming presence. It is a frequent supportive gift for someone navigating a difficult patch.
As a natural stone, the balance of pink and the pattern of black veining vary from one piece to the next, so each stone is distinct.

Geological Information
Rhodonite is a manganese silicate, an inosilicate with a Mohs hardness of about 5.5 to 6.5, recognised by its pink to rose-red body crossed with characteristic black manganese oxide veining, which distinguishes it from the similar pink rhodochrosite. Its name comes from the Greek rhodon, meaning rose. Russian rhodonite was used extensively in Imperial Russian decorative arts, and crystalline material from Franklin, New Jersey is prized by collectors. This material is offered from Madagascar; rhodonite is more commonly sourced from Australia, Russia, Sweden, the USA, Peru and Brazil.
AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.
Care Note
Rhodonite is moderately soft (Mohs 5.5 to 6.5) and can scratch. Store it apart from harder stones and handle it gently to keep the polished surface intact.
