PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Polished beautifully carved Rhodonite "Pink Elephants on Parade" :) Carving from Madagascar
Rhodonite, a striking manganese inosilicate mineral with a captivating rose-red hue, ranging from dusky pink to rich semi-gemmy tones. This exquisite gemstone, belonging to the pyroxenoid group with a triclinic crystal structure, is renowned for its vibrant color and remarkable hardness.
Our latest collection features Rhodonite from the Ambindavato region of Madagascar, known for its exceptional quality and rarity. Each specimen is carefully mined and polished on-site, revealing a stunning contrast between the deep pink to red color and black Chromite inclusions.
Rhodonite’s name comes from the Greek word "rhodos," meaning "rose," reflecting its beautiful rose-red shades. Once popular in the 1930s, particularly the banded varieties from Argentina, Rhodonite continues to be prized for its unique beauty.
