Rhodonite gets its pink colour from Manganese, and comes in a variety of shades of pink, sometimes with black veins, particularly crystals from Madagascar. It is the official gemstone of the US State Massachusetts and its name comes from the Greek 'rhodon', which translates to 'rose coloured'. Fine, transparent crystals are very rare and highly desirable for collectors.
