How can you tell the difference between a rough of Rhodonite and Rhodochrosite?
Question: I got a span of pink rocks in an estate sale, in a box full of rocks. Enigma is, after I slab it, how do I know if it's Rhodonite or Rhodochrosite? They look the same when the Rhodochrosite doesn't have bands. Lapidary people out there, let me be sure any ideas on this.
Answer: Rhodonite lacks rhodochrosite’s banding and is generally speaking pink with black veins.
