Rhodonite is thought to aid in perceiving where one's talents lie. It is thought to be a stone of learning and development. Also, it's thought to increase self-worth. As such, it allows one to feel clarity and confidence around where one's path might lead. Similarly, it encourages responsibility, generosity and co-operation in both individuals and communities. Lastly, it is thought to be a wonderful support for new mothers during the birth process.History and Uses
Rhodonite derives its name from the Greek word "rhodos" meaning rosy which is a reference to its deep pink colour. It was first described in the 19th century but has been used throughout history to decorate objects. Similarly, during the Middle Ages it was used as a talisman to bring happiness and honour. It is found in the Ural region in Russia. A large slab of it was used to build a tomb for the wife of Czar Alexander II. It took 16 years to build and was finished in 1906. These days, it is now in the Peter-and-Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Rhodonite can be distinguished from Rhodochrosite by the inclusion of black manganese.Geological Description
Rhodochrosite is a manganese metasilicate mineral with a hardness of 5.5 to 6.5. It mostly occurs in massive or granular habits but can also crystallise in tabular form. Rhodonite frequently contains black inclusions of manganese oxide. It is found in Sweden, Australia, India, Madagascar, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, Canada and the USA.Affirmation
I trust my inner talents to be of benefit for humanity.

Jewellery Warranty & Care
When crafted into jewellery, some crystals are more hardy than others.
For everyday wearers, we recommend crystals that fall in the Quartz family or have a Moh's hardness level of over 5.5-6.
Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals.
Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. These are best as occasion pieces.
Store safely, and clean with care.
Rest assured that our 1-year jewellery warranty covers any manufacturing defects.
With proper care, we expect your pieces to last many years to come.
In our 18 years of business, we still wear some treasures from our original collection! Learn more about our warranty and care guide here.
