This gemstone is made of Rhodonite.

Did you know?
Its name comes from the Greek "rhodon" meaning rose.
This gemstone has a slightly opaque luster, can be pink or red and sometimes has gray, black or green dendritic inclusions.
The Greeks and Romans used it as an amulet, considering it a protective object.
The stone also features prominently in Russian art and architecture.
