PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Blood Red Rhodonite From Zimbabwe

Rhodonite from Zimbabwe is a beautiful mineral known for its rich range of pink to deep red hues, often accented by striking black veins of Chromite. The color spectrum can range from soft, dusky pinks to bold, semi-translucent gemmy reds, making each piece uniquely captivating. This material tends to have a nice weight and a smooth polish, which really highlights its vibrant color and natural patterns.

The presence of black Chromite gives the stone a dramatic contrast, enhancing its visual appeal. It often occurs in compact, cleavable masses, giving it a solid, substantial feel. Zimbabwean Rhodonite is relatively rare, and its high-quality polish brings out the stone’s full potential, revealing all of its natural beauty. The result is a striking stone with a strong presence, perfect for collectors or anyone drawn to bold, eye-catching minerals.
