General Gemstone Details

A few Rhodocrosite items that may currently be available in our store....

Scientific Properties:
Mohs Hardness of 4 with a trigonal crystal structure.

The pink color of Rhodochrosite is caused by the element manganese and it is formed when manganese is dissolved by ground water and combines with a carbonate material and then drips off the ceiling of caves and crevices deep underground. It is found in Argentina, Peru, and Montana, U.S.

Ranges from light red to rose red to pink, often with black spots and veins. The name is derived from the Greek word "rhodon" (pink) and "chros" (color). It is referred to as the Inca Rose by the Incas who believed the blood of their rulers turned into this stone.

Mystical Properties:
Healing, comfort, harmony and friendship. Rhodochrosite promotes smooth energy flow, emotional expressiveness, kindness, tolerance, compassion and self-love.

It helps us live our spiritual beliefs, it facilitates the balancing of the emotional process such that the attunement to the higher self may be attained, and one's awareness and spirituality can be enhanced.

Rhodochrosite is the ultimate stone in helping your soul reach it's highest level. It will assist in the attainment of the solution to the puzzling concept relating to the contradiction of the duality of nature and the soul.

It further will assist in the acceleration of the expansion of the consciousness to both understand and initiate the practice of intensive relaxation, acceptance and balancing.

It removes tendencies toward avoidance or denial, and helps one to be more willing to accept and integrate new information while maintaining a clarity of intellect of the information already attained.
