Rhodonite is a silicate of manganese and an uncommon material.

The word rhodonite comes from the greek word rhodos, meaning rose colored. A popular ornamental stone, it was first discovered in Argentian in 1930 and is the state gemstone for Massachusetts. Deposits can be found in several states in the US, as well as Sweden, Brazil, Canada, and Peru.
