Geological Details

Mineral: Rhodonite (manganese silicate, inosilicate) · Crystal System: Triclinic · Common Associates: Manganese oxides, calcite (cream tones)

Rhodonite is formed during metamorphism of manganese-rich rocks. Peruvian deposits produce material with vivid pinks and strong oxide patterns, highly sought after for both carving and specimen work.

Aesthetic Appeal

Tower #2 offers excellent contrast—its darker manganese inclusions and flowing cream bands break up the pink base, giving each face unique personality. A polished finish enhances the interplay of colors and textures, making it stand out in any mineral display.

Metaphysical Properties

Known as a stone of compassion, rhodonite is linked to heart chakra healing, forgiveness, and emotional balance. The dark inclusions help ground and stabilize, making this tower both nurturing and protective.

Rarity

Towers near 20 cm with strong contrasting features are less common in rhodonite. Tower #2’s combination of size, polish, and bold veining gives it collector appeal.

Why You’ll Love It

With bold inclusions and balanced pink hues, Tower #2 is an eye-catching piece that radiates both warmth and grounding energy. It bridges decorative and healing value seamlessly.
