This time I have been working with this lovely Rhodonite egg. Rhodonite resonates with the Heart (4th) and Root (1st) Chakras, along with the elements Fire and Earth. Rhodonite has a hardness of 5.5 - 6.5 on the hardness scale. The name is derived from the Greek word meaning 'rose-red' - this is also a colour give away!
Most of the time, Rhodonite has manganese oxide inclusions which appear as black lines and splotches. However, my egg is a particularly good piece with very little other mineral involvement.
You can tell by the colour that Rhodonite holds lots of love energy, like most other pink stones do. Unlike many other stones however, Rhodonite projects its love energies outwardly; making it a stone of altruism, generosity and sharing gifts to help others. Working with Rhodonite can attract to you people who will benefit from your unique talents or gifts. Interestingly, as I have been working with it, I found an opportunity to do another act of kindness. So currently I am bunny sitting for an owner who has little time on her hands with a newborn baby. My task - to bond the two bunnies into a happy little pair...what are the chances of that eh?? The chances of me stumbling upon someone needing such help with their bunnies is just too much to be coincidence alone! Aren't crystals amazing!?!
Rhodonite harmonises with most other heart stones, such as Rose Quartz, Pink Calcite, Rhodocrosite, Morganite and many others. when paired with Sugilite or Tibetan Black Quartz it can dispel negative energies. It also works well with Red Garnets to help manifest our dreams into reality. If you are anything like me and think you have no real talents, then working with Rhodonite can help you to recognise your own strengths and abilities. It encourages perfection of skills and therefore is also a stone of learning and development.
on a physical Rhodonite strengthens tissues, organs and glands. It supports the flow of life force energy through the body and also directs it to the endocrine system. This then improves energy and feelings of vitality. Rhodonite also supports the liver in its role of detoxifying the body and can be helpful in stimulating metabolism and encouraging expression of energy through exercise.
Spiritually Rhodonite increases understanding of ones own purpose because this can be revealed through recognising and expressing talents, skills and gifts. Rhodonite encourages us to perfect our skills to use for the highest good.
Emotionally Rhodonite it a stone of self worth and helps us to understand our life purpose. working with this stone can help us to find a stronger sense of self and a sense of our spiritual path. A stone that can help you feel as though you belong in the world.
Physically Rhodonite can support weight loss through its effects on the metabolism. it detoxifies and purifies the physical body. Although, by itself it does not purify, it stimulates and strengthens the organs to do this more effectively. It is very good in supporting the body to get rid of Gall/Kidney stones and can support the Liver in healing from damage.
Rhodonite is all round a great stone, and very pretty! I hope that it will also help me with some weight loss - not just attracting opportunities for kindness haha!
