IDENTITY CARD

RHODONITE

Rhodonite is a stone with deep shades of pink, often marbled or veined with black. It embodies both love in action and emotional strength. More dense and structured than rose quartz, it links the heart to matter, feelings to reality. It is a stone of emotional construction, gentle courage and inner reconciliation. Its name, derived from the Greek rhodon ("rose"), reflects the controlled power of channeled emotion.

Rhodonite's pink color is due to the presence of manganese, while the black inclusions are the result of its natural oxidation on the surface.

A little history

Rhodonite was particularly popular in Imperial Russia, where it adorned decorative objects, columns and even tombs. It was considered a protective stone for the home and for newlyweds. In some parts of Eastern Europe, it was offered to travelers as a protection against misfortune. In Germany and Sweden, it was also used in the 19th century to carve cameos and jewelry symbolizing faithful love and emotional resilience.
