means Rhodonite is a pink manganese silicate mineral, often shot through with black manganese-oxide veins, prized as a gemstone and ornamental carving material.

from From the Greek 'rhodon,' meaning rose, the same root that blooms in 'rhododendron' (rose-tree) and the name Rhoda. The '-ite' is the standard mineralogical tail for naming stones. So the name simply means 'the rosy one' — a fitting tag for a stone the color of a blush, named for its petal-pink hue.
