A pale red triclinic material that consists essentially of manganese silicate and is used as an ornamental stone.
another pink, opaque stone. Medium pink to kind of dusty rose, often with black inclusions.
A translucent, and sometimes – but rarely – transparent crystal can have a luster anywhere from glasslike to pearly to dull. It is an extremely attractive mineral named after “rhodon,” the Greek word for rose. It's distinctive colors range from pink to deep red and orange.
(1823,from Greek rhodon meaning rose) A rose-red manganese silicate, usually veined with streaks of black due to the oxidation of manganese. It is commonly mined in very large blocks.
From the Greek word for pink. A reddish gem with thin veins or patches of grey-black. Found in the former Soviet Union, USA, India and Australia

Named after the Greek word for pink. A reddish-pink color with thin veins or patches of gray to black. Found in the former Soviet Union, the U.S., India, and Australia.
a glassy, opaque, pink to rose-red mineral, often with black inclusions, composed of crystalline manganese silicate. Named after the Greek word "rhodon" meaning "rose". It is found in the former Soviet Union, the U.S., India, and Australia and is usually used as an ornamental stone.
Rhodonite is a member of the pyroxene group of minerals, consisting of manganese inosilicate, (Mn,Fe,Mg,Ca)SiO3, and crystallizing in the triclinic system. It commonly occurs as cleavable to compact masses with a rose-red color, often tending to brown because of surface oxidation.
