Rhodonite Palmstone

This piece shows classic dendritic “webbing”: fine black manganese lines crossing a dusty-rose background. It has that map-like look collectors love.

Geology & formation
Rhodonite is a manganese silicate (MnSiO₃). The pink colour comes from manganese ions in the crystal structure. The black lines are surface-altered manganese oxides that fill natural fractures—think of them as nature’s ink marks formed during metamorphism in manganese-rich rocks.

Vibe
Known for calm, patience, and clear communication—useful for grounding during tough conversations or winding down at night.
