Rhodonite is a nurturing and loving stone that provides emotional balance. Known for promoting the brotherhood of man, this crystal helps you to see all sides of the situation and come to a healthy, fair resolution. It is also very grounding, as it is capable of aligning the soul more closely with its vibration during meditation. Rhodonite seeks to unite people by allowing one to clear emotional wounds, forgive others, and see the loving oneness that binds us all.
Historical Folklore
Rhodonite’s name comes from the Greek word rhodon, meaning “rose” or “rosy”.
Russian Czars supposedly crafted platters out of rhodonite to give as wedding gifts. In fact, this stone served as an important part of Russia’s historical culture, as its people once placed it in cribs to watch over infants.
