Polished Rhodonite Spheres x 2 From Zimbabwe

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Rhodonite – Captivating Blood-Red Elegance from Zimbabwe

Explore the stunning beauty of Rhodonite, renowned for its striking rose-red color and cleavable to compact masses. Our latest deposit of Rhodonite, recently unearthed in Zimbabwe and expertly polished locally, offers a remarkable range of rich pink to deep red hues.

This enchanting material often occurs alongside black Chromite, enhancing its visual appeal. Rhodonite's impressive weight-to-size ratio and its ability to display a range of pink shades—from dusky pink to semi-gemmy—make it exceptionally rare and desirable.

Each piece is meticulously polished to highlight its natural beauty, showcasing the stone's vibrant color and unique characteristics. 

The name "Rhodonite" derives from the Greek word "rhodos," meaning "rose," a fitting tribute to the stone's distinctive pink or rose-red hue. Rhodonite gained popularity as an ornamental stone after the discovery of banded varieties in Argentina during the 1930s, sometimes known as "Inca Rose" in reference to the regional material.

Enhance your collection with the captivating elegance of Zimbabwean Rhodonite, a gem that embodies both beauty and rarity.
