Rose pink laced with black veins, rhodonite makes a bold, elegant sphere. Each ball is polished to a smooth, glossy finish that shows off the contrast between the pink stone and its dark mineral lines.
Choose from seven weights, from a small palm sphere under 50 grams to a substantial 500 to 600 gram display piece. Set one on a sphere stand on your desk, bookshelf or meditation table, or use smaller sizes in crystal grids. It is a distinctive gift for someone who loves pink stones but wants something less expected than rose quartz.
Rhodonite is a manganese silicate mineral with a rose pink body and black veins of manganese oxide. It has a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5, so it is best displayed on a stand or soft surface to avoid chips.
Stone Meaning: Rhodonite is traditionally associated with compassion and emotional balance.
A stand keeps a sphere from rolling and lifts it into view, so it looks finished on a shelf, desk or altar. Pick one from our crystal sphere stands and holders, with carved wood, brass, metal and clear acrylic styles. Since size goes up with weight, match the stand to the sphere you choose.
How should I display it? Set it on a sphere stand or ring so it cannot roll.
Why does rhodonite have black lines? The black veins are manganese oxide within the pink rhodonite.
Is rhodonite the same as rhodochrosite? No, rhodonite is a manganese silicate while rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate.
