The color is a combination of a pink and burgandy and white, I guess that is pretty close to a mauve color, along with the black veining and black top. I pretty much mixed it to resemble the color of rodonite photo I had. Of course since rodonite is a natural stone it varies in color darker and lighter. I picked up a piece of it in Alaska when I was there. I am not sure where it is at this time or would have shown it in the picture.jThanks Alice
