This usually massive rock takes its name from the Greek "rodon," meaning rose, because of its rosy coloring, which ranges from a light red to a rose red. Transparent to opaque, it often contains black veins or splotches or dendrites of pyrolusite, a manganese oxide. Rhodonite comes from many locales and these pieces are most likely from Colorado.
