Healing, Compassion, Self-love
Rhodochrosite is a pink to rose colored gemstone often with banded shades of pink and milky white. It is formed in cavities or fractures of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks in stalactite (icicle-shaped) formations. It was first found in the silver mines of Romania; it can now only be found in a handful of locations around the world. The name Rhodochrosite is derived from the Greek word for ‘rose-colored’. Known as an emotionally healing stone, Rhodochrosite is believed to open the heart and promote a positive disposition. It is thought to encourage compassion, love for others and for one’s self.
