those cut rhodonites had me DROOLING. the sheer intensity of that pink is stunning and how the cutters handled it is beyond me. rhodonite may be a pain to cut but it's worth it!

Wow the clarity of those faceted stones is awesome, I’ve never seen it that transparent before. Glad to see how reliable and consistent Manganese is in imparting color to materials and compounds it’s in, always a rose pink/red/purple.

Very informative. Thank you.

Since the channel covers so many gemstones, and the diffrent colors of gemstones as well, it would be nice and informative to show each stone under uv light.
Thanks 🙂

Wow, what an amazing stone, I loved the delicate crystal specimen. As for the faceted stones, I thought the inclusions were incredible. Thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous! Rhodochrosite is one of my top fav gems! 💗

[caterscarrots]

Wow, I have never seen Rhodonite in such translucent crystals before. In fact, when I saw those translucent crystals I was like "Wait, how can it be Rhodonite? It looks a lot like a Ruby, that bright red is unmistakable."

[karengarcia]

Wow, those rhodonite gemstones are so pretty even though they look pearly pink.😯😃💖💎 It's very fascinating on how they're form, some look alikes and how they get these patches.💖🖤💎 I like them including the one that looks like a piece of candy.🍬 Thanks for sharing and nice video.😉💎👍

I particularly like the variety of minerals one can find associated with rhodonites from Broken Hill.

Whilst the typical appearance of the highly contrasting rhodonite on galena is a favourite for many collectors, my personal favourites would have to be the red spessartines on rhodonite, and, rhodonite on bannisterite.

Unfortunately as the historical mines that these gemmy rhodonites came from are long since closed, high quality specimens are becoming rare and are sometimes quite pricey.

The color and shape of the cut pieces reminded me of a watermelon Ring Pop lol. I'll try not to lick rhodonite next time I see some in person.
