Large Rhodonite Cabochon
The combination of colours in this large rhodonite cabochon makes it particularly striking.
It has been finely polished, exhibits a vitreous lustre, and has an exceptionally smooth texture.
Rhodonite generally has a massive crystal habit, meaning the mineral's crystals grow as one tightly intergrown, shapeless mass. Although individual crystals of rhodonite can be found, they're extremely rare.
