Rhodonite is well known for its beautiful pink and red color. The red variety can be so deep red that it rivals the color of Ruby.
Rhodonite often has black manganese oxide veins running through a specimen, giving it the distinct appearance of pink with black crisscrossing lines and flower-like formations throughout. These are the forms most commonly used as gemstones, especially in beads and ornamental objects.
