💗 Rhodonite Slab – Old Estate Cut with Bubblegum Color & Dendrite Veins
This thin-cut slab of old stock Rhodonite comes from an estate collection in Washington State and showcases gorgeous bubblegum pink tones with bold, jet-black dendritic-style veining. Thin cutting was a common technique in earlier collections when rough was harder to come by—making this a preserved piece of lapidary history as well as a beautiful slab for display or cabbing.

Rhodonite is a collectible lapidary-grade manganese silicate known for its vibrant pink to bubblegum coloration contrasted by dramatic black veining caused by iron-rich hematite. It’s been used throughout history as a carving and ornamental stone, and today remains a favorite among lapidary artists for its eye-catching color and polishability. Rhodonite cuts into bold, designer cabochons and is prized by both gem collectors and jewelry makers looking for something naturally striking.
📝 Natural Stone Disclaimer:
All of the stones and fossils offered here are natural materials formed over millions of years through geological and organic processes. As a result, it is completely normal for them to exhibit natural fractures, pits, inclusions, voids, and other surface or internal features that reflect their ancient origins.
These characteristics are not flaws—they are part of what makes each piece unique. We encourage you to review all product photos carefully and research the properties of each material before purchasing to ensure it meets your expectations. If you have any questions about a specific piece, feel free to contact us before ordering.
🖼️ Photo Disclaimer:
To best showcase the color, pattern, and potential of each stone, most photos are taken with the material wet to simulate the appearance of a polished finish. The final photo is taken dry to help highlight any natural surface imperfections such as fractures, pits, or voids. Please review all images carefully before purchasing.
Photos are taken with my monitor set to default display settings to minimize distortion. Colors may vary slightly depending on your screen.
