Few stones can match the bright, almost bubblegum-like pinkness of rhodonite. Even rose quartz<\/a> is usually a much paler color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it’s often overlooked in favor of other, better known stones, rhodonite has a very special energy all its own. It’s one of the best crystals for healing the emotions and maintaining calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About Rhodonite<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rhodonite is a manganese inosilicate crystal. This manganese is sometimes replaced by other elements, like magnesium, calcium, or iron. Most rhodonite is a bright reddish pink, though oxidation on the surface can turn it a brownish color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its pure form, rhodonite appears as tabular crystals with weak pleochroism and cleavage planes that occur at nearly right angles. In light, it has a glassy or pearly luster. <\/p>\n\n\n

Rhodonite is often seen mingled with dark manganese oxide, resulting in stones with a striking pink-and-black streaked appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhodonite is a slightly softer stone than quartz, with a Mohs scale hardness of between 5.5 and 6.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
