Rhodochrosite

Rhodochrosite is a striking pink-to-rose-colored mineral known for its powerful heart-healing energy. Often called the “Stone of the Compassionate Heart,” Rhodochrosite encourages unconditional love, emotional healing, and self-acceptance. Its energy is both nurturing and revitalizing—softening emotional wounds while inspiring joy, creativity, and inner child work. In ancient Incan culture, Rhodochrosite was considered the blood of their ancestors turned to stone and used as a sacred connection to lineage and the divine.
