# Profile

## Lore

Rhodonite is a senior student of Coffret à Bijoux - Institute of Optics. She is often accompanied with lower year students during extracurricular exercises.

Obsessed to be Rock Crystal's No. 1 fan akin to a worshipper, she leads the same rag tag of students alongside her, forming a Rock Crystal fan club they called "Lovers", and hosts "raids" to cheer for their beloved teacher like a bunch of hooligans.

She also appears in Jewel Tales ~ Ouro Verde, her job outside of school appears to be a casino attendant.

## Personality

In stark contrast to Apatite and Celestite, who both are from the same school, Rhodonite appears to behave much more maturely, albeit her mannerisms are reminiscent of a leader ruling around a bunch of school delinquents.

However, she isn't an actual delinquent. She is kind of caring, though when dealing with emotions she goes extremely roundabout and is a stranger to being straightforward with no implications, for better of for worse.

If there are any topics about her idol Rock Crystal however, she immediately loses her more charismatic impression and starts talking about her for hours.

# Mineralogy

**Rhodonite was designated as the official state gemstone for Massachusetts, since it is considered to be the most beautiful material found there. Rhodonite represents tender affection and self-worth.**

Rhodonite is a rose pink to dark red gemstone with black dendritic inclusions. It is a manganese silicate, and a member of the pyroxenoid group of minerals. The manganese is often partly replaced by iron, magnesium, calcium, and sometimes zinc, occasionally in large quantities. A grayish-brown variety containing as much as 20% calcium oxide is called bustamite, whilst fowlerite is a variety that contains 7% zinc oxide.

Rhodonite gets its name from the Greek word, "rhodon", meaning "rose colored" and this attractive hue and vitreous luster make it a popular ornamental material.

As a manganese mineral, rhodonite is related to rhodochrosite, which is manganese carbonate. Rhodonite can appear similar to thulite, pyroxmangite, spessartite, spinel, tourmaline and bustamite. Transparent materials can be confused for hessonite (also known as cinnamon stone).

In traditional Hindu belief systems, rhodonite is associated with Anahata, or the heart chakra, which is related to peace, decision-making, love, compassion and psychic healing.

Rhodonite is featured in a lot of Russian art and some interesting pieces have been auctioned at high prices, such as a Faberge rhodonite scent bottle and a Faberge jeweled, silver-mounted rhodonite casket. Rhodonite inlay was used to decorate the Moscow Metro, and Mayakovskaya Station, built between 1935 and 1938, has over 80 square metres of columns with rhodonite inlay.[1]
