The color of rhodochrosite ranges from pink to brown, pink-red, and yellow. The stone belongs to the trigonal crystal system, its line is white, its luster is glassy and its density is 3.69. Rhodochrosite is a rather fragile stone since it has a hardness of around 3.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs scale.

Rhodochrosite is quite abundant in several countries across the globe. The most remarkable deposits are found in particular in Argentina, Peru, Mexico, the United States, France, Russia, Bulgaria, Gabon and China.

VIRTUES OF RHODOCHROSITE

Lithotherapy attributes many benefits to rhodochrosite on the body. The soothing properties of the stone help relieve migraine pain, stomach ulcers and arthritis-related problems. It also has virtues for regulating diabetes, detoxifying the liver and kidneys and soothing the nervous system. It would also strengthen visual acuity and help remedy certain mental pathologies such as dementia or Parkinson's disease.

On a spiritual level, rhodochrosite is considered the stone of feelings and altruistic impulses. One of the striking characteristics of the stone is the particular softness it gives to bring up buried trauma and painful feelings. Once the evil has been identified, it would help to dissipate it and delicately remedy the wounds and trauma suffered by the being. Thanks to this characteristic, some do not hesitate to describe rhodochrosite as the stone of emotional liberation. A stone with positive action, rhodochrosite is particularly recommended for followers of meditation thanks to its ability to dissipate negative attitudes and thoughts.

As for rhodochrosite's preferred chakras, the solar plexus chakra particularly benefits from the protective action of the stone to the extent that it envelops it with a positive aura resilient to stress and negative waves. The heart chakra also benefits from the attenuating power of rhodochrosite, which regulates feelings and emotions avoiding any unnecessary excess both for oneself and for the people around us.

Rhodochrosite is especially favorable for the signs of Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Capricorn and Scorpio. Its purification must be done relatively often by immersing it in distilled water for a few hours. Recharging, for its part, is done by exposure to the sun, ideally on a quartz cluster to optimize its charging.
