Love the knives, but ladies......must rain on your parade, sorry.
Rhodochrosite would not make for a good choice of stone on a knife handle. It is way to brittle & soft. Would break up very fast swimming around in a purse. (I can say that since I too carry one.)
You will find that, other than those knives that are never intended for use, the stone that is used is a very hard & stable stone. That doesn't scratch or break easily.
