RHODONITE












Rhodonite has quite a distinct pink or rose red color, although material containing black veins is more popular than the uniform pink.
The word rhodonite is derived from the Greek word rhodon for rosy, although there is also reference that credited a Celtic word rhod, which means wheel, as the origins of the name.
In antiquity, rhodonite was given to travelers as a protective stone, it was said to warn them of imminent danger by causing the heartbeat to accelerate suddenly.
