Rhodochrosite

Rhodochrosite is a stunning pink and white banded stone known as the "Stone of the Compassionate Heart." Its raspberry-pink color with creamy white bands creates some of the most beautiful patterns in the mineral world.

The Incas believed rhodochrosite was the blood of their former rulers turned to stone, calling it "Inca Rose." Argentina's national stone, it was found in ancient Inca silver mines. In Japanese crystal culture, it is one of the most prized stones for attracting love and healing the heart.

Rhodochrosite integrates physical and spiritual energies, stimulating love and passion while encouraging spontaneous expression of feelings. It is one of the most powerful stones for healing the inner child, addressing childhood wounds, and learning self-love. It promotes a positive, cheerful outlook on life.
