Rhodonite is a mineral that belongs to the pyroxenoid group and is prized for its distinctive pink-to-red coloration. Its chemical composition includes manganese, iron, calcium, and silicon, with the formula MnSiO₃. Rhodonite is valued both as a gemstone for jewelry and for its metaphysical properties.
Occurrence in Peru
Peru is one of the world’s major sources of rhodonite. Significant deposits are found in regions such as Huancavelica, Huanuco, Junin, and Lima. Peruvian rhodonite is known for its high quality, making it highly sought after by collectors and lapidaries.
Physical Characteristics
Rhodonite from Peru typically occurs in massive form or as crystalline aggregates. Its pink-to-red color is often accented with black or brown veins, caused by manganese content. The mineral exhibits a vitreous to pearly luster and has a hardness of 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale.
