Geological Background: Rhodonite
Rhodonite is a manganese silicate mineral (MnSiO₃) known for its vibrant pink coloration with black veining. It forms in metamorphic manganese deposits and is primarily sourced from Australia, Russia, and Madagascar. With a Mohs hardness of 5.5–6.5, it’s durable enough for carving and polishing while maintaining its characteristic silky luster.
Cultural & Symbolic Context
The spider symbolizes artistry, creation, and patience—each web a reflection of deliberate beauty. When paired with Rhodonite, known as the Stone of Compassion, this figure represents weaving love, healing, and emotional equilibrium into life’s design.
