An extraordinary stone of the heart, Rhodonite shares more than the lovely rose color of its sister stone, Rhodochrosite. While both lay bare the emotional wounds and scars of the past for healing and restoration, Rhodochrosite focuses on nurturing the inner self and reclaiming all one was meant to be.

Rich in color with effects that are deeper and more lasting, takes up the process and empowers one to reach one’s full potential, focusing one’s gifts and energies outward for the betterment of all. It is a stone of purpose, cooperation, community and generosity of spirit.

It is a crucial “first aid stone” for calming emotional shock and panic, and provides grounded support during the process of dealing with painful issues. It has a strong resonance with forgiveness and giving the soul the love it needs in order to heal. Gently releases self-destructive tendencies, festering resentments and anger, allowing us to see both sides of an issue to reach conciliation. It encourages the love of others, and aligning with the spirituality of the universe in order to recognize our purpose and how our gifts and abilities may be used to effect change on Earth
