Polished Rhodonite Sphere
Brazil
3.62 inches (9.19 cm) in diameter

This polished Rhodonite Sphere displays the mineral's characteristic reddish-pink coloration accented by bold, branching veins of black Manganese oxide. Careful cutting and polishing enhance the natural contrast within the stone, creating a visually dynamic surface across the spherical form. The material's vivid color and graphic patterns exemplify why Rhodonite remains highly sought after by collectors and lapidary artists alike. This expertly finished decorative orb stands as an attractive and representative example of Rhodonite fashioned into a classic sculptural format.
