RHODONITE

Rhodonite is a manganese silicate mineral commonly found in metamorphic rocks and manganese ore deposits. It is easily recognised by its rich pink to rose-red colour, often veined with striking black manganese oxide patterns, and has a vitreous to pearly lustre. In folklore, Rhodonite was treasured as a stone of compassion and protection for travellers. Metaphysically, it is believed to promote emotional healing, forgiveness, and self-love. The stone encourages balance, calmness, and the release of fear, nurturing harmony in relationships.
