Rhodonite, a stone from the silicate family, is normally pink, its color ranging from a dark pink to a fleshy hue. It is covered with black dendritic inclusions (resembling a tree). It takes its name from the Greek Rhodon, meaning "rose." It can be transparent or opaque, but transparent specimens are very rare. It is issued from South Africa, Australia, Canada, the United States, Finland, Japan, Madagascar, Mexico, Russia, Sweden and Tanzania. It is usually cut in cabochon, beads or other objects.
