What is redstone gemstone

The scientific name of rhodonite is Dialogite, derived from the Greek word meaning “rosy” because it contains many manganese ions during its formation, giving it a pink hue as its dominant color. The cross-section of rhodonite resembles wonderful concentric circles, like a pink rose in full bloom, beautiful and romantic, hence its nickname “Inca Rose linca Rose”. Rhodonite is the national gemstone of Argentina and is also known as Argentine Stone, with the title of “Cupid’s Stone”. Rhodonite is a carbonate mineral often containing elements such as iron, calcium, and zinc, which often replace manganese, making pure rhodochrosite rare.

Origins

The main producing countries include the United States, Peru, Madagascar, Mexico, South Africa, Algeria, Argentina, Romania, Japan, and China.

How to Select Rhodonite

Color: Color is a crucial factor in selecting rhodonite.

High-quality rhodonite should have a vivid and high-saturation color.

Clarity: The crystal should be rosy and icy transparent, with unique “red blood vessels” that are lifelike.

Texture: The texture of rhodonite is also a source of its unique charm. High-quality rhodonite should have clear textures with smooth and natural lines.

Weight and Size: The price of rhodonite is often determined by its weight and size.

High-quality ice-type rhodonite has a more transparent color, while ordinary rhodonite, due to its deposition process, may contain half-frames with colors like white and brown, forming what we commonly call the “bacon color,” which is the most common type of rhodonite.

Secondly, due to its low hardness of only 3 to 4.5, rhodonite is not recommended to be bumped or rubbed against hard objects. Generally, high-quality rhodonite is made into pendants or gemstones to protect it. If made into bracelets, there must be spacers in between to prevent damage. The price of rhodonite has been relatively stable in recent years, but Argentina has stopped mining rhodonite in recent years, so its price is steadily rising. Those who like it can consider investing earlier.

Rhodonite corresponds to the heart chakra and solar plexus, assisting those with heart chakra trauma and desiring charm. It helps people heal traumas from their family of origin during childhood. Rhodonite is an ideal mineral to alleviate these symptoms by first releasing the emotions that create problems and then training the body to breathe appropriately, as if exercising our hearts to assimilate life experiences rather than isolating ourselves from the external environment. By wearing a bracelet with rhodonite or placing it on the heart chakra during meditation, it can purify existing energy imbalances through its vibrant yet soothing and sweet energy.

Occasions for Use

1. When needing support;
2. When longing for a beautiful new romance;
3. When hoping to emerge from the shadows of a breakup;
4. When needing to heal traumas from the family of origin, or to overcome sadness or depression.

Functions of Rhodonite

Firstly, it corresponds to our heart chakra, alleviating melancholy and anxiety from the bottom of our hearts, bringing joy and increasing our enthusiasm.

Secondly, it is also known to attract love and peach blossoms. However, its effect differs from other peach blossom-attracting minerals as it mainly attracts the right partner for marriage, so it is particularly suitable for those seeking to marry and find the right person.

It is also especially suitable for those who have experienced breakups, been hurt, or suffered painful experiences, helping them emerge from the shadows.

At the same time, it is also suitable for stable couples to enhance mutual tolerance and trust.
