Why Rhodonite!

Tumbled Rhodonite

   This rose-red manganese silicate mineral, whose name in Greek means "rose", is well known for its heart-healing properties that promote forgiveness and self-love. Despite needing careful handling due to being prone to cleavage upon impact, it has a Mohs hardness of 5.5-6.5 and is used in jewelry as well as crystal healing. Wearing it can serve as a daily reminder for kindness and to help release the self-destructive patterns of resentment and having it around could promote a sense of calmness and peace.


   As a matter of fact, in parts of Asia rhodonite is often used in both spiritual and medicinal practices. Belonging to the Heart Chakra, Taoists use rhodonite to help with emotional balance and to foster inner harmony by aiding with the release of old wounds and soothing anxiety. Often referred to as the "Rescue Stone" for its emotional resilience and calm, this gemstone is believed to encourage understanding and harmony in relationships by providing grounding energy.

But that's not all...

   Both the Greeks and Romans attributed protective properties to rhodonite and frequently wore it as amulets or talismans during their travels. Not only was it believed to safeguard travelers, but it was thought to promote serenity and prudence to all on the road. Some historical accounts suggest that even Roman soldiers sometimes embedded rhodonite in their armor or accessories to enhance courage and vigilance in battle.


   Whether you're looking to use this stone for self-protection, or if you wish to simply promote emotional healing, compassion, self-love, forgiveness, and balance, rhodonite is an excellent stone to add to your collection.
