Geology · Formation
How it forms: Hydrothermal alteration of Mn ores.
Rhodonite is a manganese silicate known for its deep pink color and black dendritic veins. It forms in hydrothermal veins and via the metamorphism of other manganese minerals. Tectonic heat and hydrothermal alteration of manganese-rich sediments create an opaque, deep pink stone often featuring black veins of Manganese Oxide.
