Peruvian Rhodonite
Peruvian Rhodonite is a captivating variety of rhodonite that stands out for its vibrant pink to red hues, which are often accentuated by striking black veining. This stone is not only admired for its color but also for the intricate inclusions that contribute to its unique appearance. As its name suggests, Peruvian Rhodonite is primarily found in Peru, where some of the finest specimens are sourced.
Composition, Inclusions, and Color
- Chemical Composition: Rhodonite is a manganese inosilicate mineral with the chemical formula (Mn, Fe, Mg, Ca)SiO₃.
- Color: The pink to red color of rhodonite is primarily due to the presence of manganese (Mn²⁺) within its crystal structure. The intensity of the color can vary depending on the amount of manganese present, with higher concentrations resulting in deeper shades of pink or red.

Inclusions:
- Black Veining: The black veining commonly seen in Peruvian Rhodonite is caused by inclusions of manganese oxide. These veins create a dramatic contrast against the pink or red background, enhancing the stone's visual appeal.
- Other Mineral Inclusions: In some cases, rhodonite may also contain inclusions of other minerals such as quartz or calcite, which can add further complexity to the stone's appearance.
- Luster: Vitreous to pearly.
- Hardness: 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale.
- Crystal System: Triclinic.
