Rhodonite specimens from Peru display a signature pink color, and are of manganese silicate composition. They also contain significant amounts of magnesium, iron, and calcium (Mn,Fe,Mg,Ca)SiO3. Rhodonite, an uncommon mineral, typically thrives in metamorphic rocks and other manganese-rich regions. It claims its presence in nine main localities: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, England, India, Russia, Sweden, and Peru, along with a few states in the USA. These specimens boast a massive crystal structure, granting them a granular appearance, while the rarer ones boast red, triclinic crystals. You can obtain these specimens in various sizes, neatly packaged in a white card tray complete with an informative label.
