Rhodochrosite and Rhodonite

Rhodochrosite (meaning rose-coloured) is a most attractive mineral;the name is derived from the Greek word "rhodon" (pink) and "chros" (colour). It was referred to as the Inca Rose by the Incas who believed the blood of their rulers turned into this stone. Rhodochrosite is known as a stone of love and balance.

Rhodonite is an attractive mineral which is named after the Greek word for rose, rhodon. Its beautiful rose-pink colour is sometimes confused with rhodochrosite, but it is a distinct mineral in its own right.
