Ambindavato Rhodonite – Exquisite Manganese Inosilicate from Madagascar
Discover the captivating beauty of Rhodonite, a distinguished manganese inosilicate mineral with the chemical composition SiO₃. This remarkable gemstone belongs to the pyroxenoid group and features a triclinic crystal structure. Rhodonite is renowned for its signature rose-red color, which ranges from a dusky pink to a rich, semi-gemmy hue.
Our latest collection highlights Rhodonite from the Ambindavato region of Madagascar. Each specimen is meticulously mined and skillfully polished on-site, showcasing an exceptionally rare and exquisite pink to deep red color. This vibrant hue creates a striking contrast with black Chromite, adding to the stone’s visual appeal. The unique color variations and the pink coloration’s rarity make these pieces stand out.
Rhodonite is celebrated for its exceptional hardness, and our expertly polished specimens reveal their inherent beauty with clarity and brilliance. Pricing is based on grade, and each item is presented exactly as showcased.
The name Rhodonite derives from the Greek word "rhodos," meaning "rose," reflecting the stone’s distinct pink or rose-red color. Rhodonite gained widespread popularity in the 1930s as an ornamental stone, especially the banded varieties from Argentina, often referred to as "Inca Rose."
