The name Rhodonite comes from the Greek word ‘rhodon’ for pink; its distinctive rosy hues from the oxidised manganese minerals within the stone. Culturally, Rhodonite has been widely acknowledged as a stone of love and protection, even being used to create Tsar Alexander II’s wife’s tomb in the late 19th century. A stone of compassion, Rhodonite is claimed to be an exceptional emotional balancer, assiting one in emotional rejuvenation.
