    I don't know anything about rhodonite. In fact I haven't heard of it. But I like this cranberry color, which works with the state berry a lot. Happy weekend CJ! hugs-Erika

      A description of the mineral says its found with manganese. Our well is loaded with manganese. Maybe we also have a rhodonite mine!

    How pretty! Rhodenite is one stone we will check when we head to the rock stores.

    I know I'll never catch up, after the trial took up so much of October, but you find the most fascinating facts about MA. Never heard of rhodenite before but it is really pretty.
