Geological Details

Mineral: Rhodonite (manganese silicate, inosilicate) · Crystal System: Triclinic · Common Associates: Manganese oxides (black veining)

Rhodonite forms under metamorphic conditions where manganese-rich sediments recrystallize. Peruvian sources are admired for their vibrant pink hues and dramatic oxide patterns, and Tower #5 represents a classic expression of this material.

Aesthetic Appeal

This tower balances contrast—neither too pale nor too dark. Flowing pink surfaces are accented by black streaks and occasional cream bands, giving each face unique texture. The polish provides depth and smooth tactile quality.

Metaphysical Properties

Rhodonite is revered as the stone of compassion, said to open and heal the heart chakra. Its grounding manganese inclusions help anchor emotions, fostering harmony and resilience. Tower #5’s balanced look resonates with balanced energy—strong yet gentle.

Rarity

Towers over 200 mm are less commonly available compared to smaller polished points. Tower #5 offers both size and aesthetic balance, appealing to collectors and practitioners alike.

Why You’ll Love It

Neither overly bold nor overly subtle, Tower #5 is the “just right” rhodonite specimen—elegant, grounding, and versatile. It can be a showpiece in a cabinet or a supportive stone in a healing space.
