Rhodonite is a popular stone for making handicrafts and jewelry. In the 19th century, Rhodonite was one of the most popular gemstones in Russia. In the Fersmann Museum in Moscow there is a 200 kg vase made of pure Rhodonite and in Moscow's Mayakovskaya subway station entire wall surfaces were lined with Rhodonite Slabs.
Rhodonite's little brother: Psilomelane
With rhodonite from Brazil or China, the black bands in the mineral immediately catch the eye. This veining occurs when the manganese in rhodonite, which gives it its color, is converted into manganese oxide through weathering. The name Psilomelane is derived from the Greek terms "psilos" (smooth, even) and "melas" (black).
