While the sister stone of Rhodochrosite is all about sending loving vibes to your soul and taking back space, the Rhodonite is all about putting yourself in a healthy healing place so you can send those loving vibes back out into the world and do your bit for the world at large.
The rose-pink stone actually takes its name from Rhodon, the Greek word for Rose. It was first discovered in the 1790s in the remote Ural Mountains that ripple across Russia. Since then the pink colored crystal has also been unearthed in India, Mexico, Sweden, Madagascar, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, Canada, and the USA. Made up of manganese inosilicate and with swirling shadows of manganese oxide, it measures between a 5 and a 6 on the Mohs hardness scale. It’s a solid stone with a visible eye-catching strength – the Rhodonite isn’t one to shy away.
Like many rose-red and pink stones, Rhodonite is deeply connected to the heart chakra.
