Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral that occurs in just a few small locations on Earth. It rarely occurs as well-formed crystals, and cabochons are highly sought after for jewelry. It can form as a thin coating on veins and fractures, or can fill cavities, forming stalactites that give some specimens their characteristic concentric circular pattern. It is rare, and difficult to cut and polish, so is quite expensive.
Rhodochrosite is known to have one of the most intense loving energies of any stone, particularly directed toward self-love. It is soothing and comforting, and is ideal for inner-child work, and the examining of old wounds and traumas. It can help you to acknowledge and release coping mechanisms that are no longer serving you, while encouraging self-forgiveness.
