How do you like that for a non descript title
so...it is black, white and pink and it is not rhodonite or rhodochrosite. The pink and black crystals in it are real sparklie. And the pink is a deep pink color. The black is almost like mica but not as reflective or without the goldtone. They told me what it was when I bought it but I forgot. Rats.

I looked it up once before I forgot the name, said it was radioactive. Turns out several kinds of rocks are radioactive, but to what degree?

THAT'S IT!!!
HA! no R involved
thank you NeverMoon
Now I have a place where I can remember it, the radioactivity kinda freaks me out although I can't imagine it's any worse than hiking around the Santa Susana Field Lab area

Eudialytes are indeed mildly radioactive, but wearing or handling pieces under 5 cts (1 gram) should pose no health risks. On the other hand, holding a eudialyte sphere of 5,000 cts (1 kg) — a very large piece, indeed — would expose you to 2.40 mREM per hour.
I wonder if it glows! LoL, Thanks you guys!
no really I would like to find a blacklight flashlight to check all the other stones for their luminosity. (And maybe a geiger counter?)
I have searched all over for a brick and mortar store....I do not shop on line. All these places (Walmart, Home depot, Lowes, Harbor frieght) say they have them but when I get there, they say they don't. Any ideas? I would think a lapidary supply might, or is there a forensics supply? Oi.
