Origin of the raw material from Peru.
The first scientific description of Rhodonite was made in 1819 by the German naturalist Christoph Friedrich Jasche. The pink color inspired Jasche to the name "Rhodonite", which is derived from the Greek word "rhodon" for rose or rose fragrance. Occasional spellings like rhodonite, rodonite or rodonite are therefore not correct.
