Rhodonite Crystals from Russia
Rhodonite is used for decorative purposes and for its metaphysical healing properties. This crystal is often confused for the mineral rhodochrosite. The confusion comes from the stones' sharing a similar name not because of a similarity in appearance.
The prefix 'rhodo' comes from the Greek word 'rhodon' meaning 'rose'. This is a reference to the pinkish-red colour of both minerals.
The black markings commonly seen in rhodonite are caused by manganese oxides. These impurities can occur as dendrites, fracture fillings or be part of the host rock. The amount present can vary considerably.
Individual crystals of rhodonite are rare and highly sought after. The mineral occurs more commonly in massive form which means crystals grow tightly together as one large mass with no external shape or form.
When used for its healing properties rhodonite balances emotions, nurtures love and enables you to achieve your highest potential. A gentle yet powerful crystal it stimulates and heals the heart.
These striking rhodonite crystals come from Russia. We only have a small quantity left available. With new tariffs and restrictions having been placed on goods from Russia, we will not be replenishing our stock.
We also have rhodonite crystals from Pakistan and a smaller stone from Mozambique.
