Rhodonite is manganese silicate mineral with an opaque transparency. Rhodonite comes in shades that vary from pale pink to deep red. It has a vitreous luster and is composed of other minerals such as calcite, iron, and magnesium. It has a triclinic crystal system and occurs in ores or as rounded crystals. It has a perfect, prismatic cleavage, almost at right angles. The hardness is 5.5–6.5, and the specific gravity is 3.4–3.7; luster is vitreous, being less frequently pearly on cleavage surfaces. Keeping all these factors in mind, an Original Rhodonite Gemstone can cost a buyer anywhere between Rs 1000 to Rs 10,000 per carat Rhodonite is very rare and the most expensive. Most rhodonite used in jewelry is of the opaque variety, often containing inclusions. Generally, in the gemstone world, inclusions can heavily reduce the value of the gemstone. Rhodonite has also been referred to as Pink Marble, Vermilion Jade, or Peach Blossom Jade, and in the Urals it is known as Ruby Spar, Hornstone, bakan, and orletz.
