    Description

    Rhodonite is a
    manganese
    inosilicate
    , (Mn, Fe, Mg, Ca)SiO
    3
    and member of the
    pyroxenoid
    group of
    minerals
    , crystallizing in the
    triclinic
    system. It commonly occurs as cleavable to compact masses with a rose-red color (the name comes from the Greek ῥόδος
    rhodos
    , rosy), often tending to brown because of surface
    oxidation
    .
    Rhodonite
    crystals
    often have a thick tabular
    habit
    , but are rare. It has a perfect, prismatic
    cleavage
    , almost at right angles. The
    hardness
    is 5.5–6.5, and the
    specific gravity
    is 3.4–3.7;
    luster
    is vitreous, being less frequently pearly on cleavage surfaces. The
    manganese
    is often partly replaced by
    iron
    ,
    magnesium
    ,
    calcium
    , and sometimes
    zinc
    , which may sometimes be present in considerable amounts; a greyish-brown variety containing as much as 20% of calcium oxide is called
    bustamite
    ;
    fowlerite
    is a zinciferous variety containing 7% of zinc oxide.
    The
    inosilicate
    (chain silicate) structure of rhodonite has a repeat unit of five silica
    tetrahedra
    . The rare
    polymorph
    pyroxmangite
    , formed at different conditions of pressure and temperature, has the same chemical composition but a repeat unit of seven tetrahedra.
    Rhodonite has also been worked as an ornamental stone. In the iron and manganese mines at Pajsberg near
    Filipstad
    and
    Långban
    in
    Värmland
    ,
    Sweden
    , small brilliant and translucent crystals (pajsbergite) and cleavage masses occur.

    As of May 6th 2021, due to the increased postage costs. Postage is now .80 in the USA for all the items you wish to buy in a two week period, and that are paid in a single
    transaction.  All packages still come with full tracking.  I've held off on raising my postage prices for as long as I could.  The Post Office keeps increasing their rates and Ebay takes about 15% in fees from the
    postage
    costs. Sorry for any inconveniences.  Again, for combined shipping please take up to 2 weeks before you pay in one single transaction. So if you buy one item or 239 items, postage is .80 total in the USA when you pay in one payment. And Please only pay when you are all done. Thanks, John Humphries
