The name "rhodonite" comes from the Greek word "rhodon," which means "rose," reflecting its characteristic pink to red coloration. Rhodonite's vibrant pink color is due to its high manganese content. This mineral composition also often results in striking black manganese oxide veins running through the stone. In Russia, rhodonite was historically used as a protective talisman for travelers. It was often placed in baby cradles and around homes to keep loved ones safe.
