How can you tell the difference between a rough of Rhodonite and Rhodochrosite?
I got a couple of pink rocks in an estate sale, in a box full of rocks. Problem 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 know any ideas on this.
Rhodonite lacks rhodochrosite’s banding and is usually pink with black veins.
