A beautiful stone possessing blends of pink, reddish, purple and earthy-brown hues complimented by intrusions of stark black, rhodonite is a stone found in a few places in New Zealand, and has high regard both here and internationally as an inexpensive jewellery stone. This piece of rhodonite was found in the Akatore area near Dunedin, Otago.
 
Measuring in at 85mm long and 27mm wide, this stone posesses a soft and delicate pink hue complimented by veins of black that contrast well with its otherwise gentle tones. Long, slender and gentle in its curvature, this is an elegant piece suited equally to everyday or fancy wear.
