History of Rhodochrosite

No gemstone is more luscious-looking and elegant than raspberry-colored rhodochrosite. Since a large amount of rhodochrosite formed as stalagmites in Inca silver mines abandoned in the 13th century, this gemstone is sometimes called Inca rose. Today, the worlds main deposits are still found in Argentina. Rhodochrosite is also the official state mineral of Colorado, no doubt partially due to the famous Sweet Home Mine located near Alma, Colorado, where rare, well-formed crystals have been found.

Metaphysical Properties

Change comes. Sometimes we go out and find it. Sometimes, it finds us instead. Rhodochrosite welcomes all change. It urges us to pay attention to our hearts and those things we hunger for. It brings out the adventuresome qualities in us. It gives us new chances. When change calls to you or falls into your life, rhodochrosite can help you open your arms and embrace it. Rhodochrosite is also known as a stone of compassion, promoting selfless love.

Geological Properties

This light pink to red gemstone is a manganese carbonate identified by its distinctive color. As a variable chemical composition, sometimes the manganese can be replaced by iron, magnesium or calcium, resulting in changes to color and hardness. Rhodochrosite typically forms in cavities of metamorphic or sedimentary rocks. This gemstone does not grow in well-formed crystals often, making certain specimens incredibly rare and valuable.
