Rhodonite Gemstone Beads

Like Rhodochrosite, Rhodonite comes in rosy to deep pink colors but has black dendrite inclusions throughout. Its name is derived from the Greek word rhodon (pink). It is much more durable than Rhodochrosite and doesn?t react to acids the way Rhodochrosite does. Rhodonite will have a flat finish to it, due to the fact that it doesn?t polish up very well. Rhodonite is called the ?singer?s stone? because it makes one more sensitive to sound, as well as helping the nervous system and the feminine reproductive system. It is found in Australia, Japan, Canada, Madagascar, Mexico, Russia, Sweden, New Jersey and Colorado
