Stunning stone pendant by the renowned Ronald Hayes Pearson.  It has been professionally polished and looks almost new! Rhodonite is only found in small deposits, thus making it fairly uncommon. Rhodonite is named after the Greek word ‘rhodon’ due to its red color. The term Rhodon means rose which is very applicable given rhodonite's naturally vibrant pink to red coloring.
