Rhodonite is a stone of compassion and emotional healing, working to heal past emotional wounds and promote forgiveness and love. It is said to foster feelings of self-love, self-worth, and emotional balance, promoting a sense of groundedness and stability.
Rhodonite is a manganese inosilicate mineral that is commonly found in metamorphic rocks. It was first discovered in 1819 in the Ural Mountains of Russia and has since been found in various locations around the world. Rhodonite typically occurs in shades of pink, but can also be found in shades of red, brown, and often contains black inclusions of manganese oxide.. Rhodonite is often found in association with other minerals such as quartz, calcite, and pyrite. Rhodonite is often used as a flux in the production of steel and iron because it contains high levels of manganese, which is a key ingredient in the steel-making process.
Rhodonite works well with other stones that promote emotional healing and self-love, such as Rose Quartz and Rhodochrosite. It can also be combined with grounding stones like Hematite and Black Tourmaline to help balance its earthy and fiery energies.
