Crushed Pink Rhodonite Sand (Grade A) from Russia, Medium Sand (0.25mm-2mm)

Rhodonite is a pink manganese silicate that is often intergrown with black manganese oxide (magnesite) to form a beautiful black and pink metamorphic rock. Rhodonite was originally only found in the Ural Mountains in Russia, but can now be found in many countries all over the world. This mineral was named after the Greek word meaning “a rose”, due to its pretty pink to rose color.  This  particular crushed rhodonite is from Russia and has a beautiful mixture of pink hues  (light pink, warm pink, and dusty rose pink) with minor amounts of black magnesite. Our medium material is considered to be sand sized (very coarse sand to fine sand), ranging between 2 millimeters to 0.25 millimeters.
