Rhodonite
Rhodonite is an alternative birthstone for the month of July and the zodiac sign of Cancer (Jun 21 - July 22).
The name “rhodonite” comes from the Greek word meaning “a rose” which relates to its rose pink colour. Rhodonite often has impurities of black manganese oxide dendrite veins running through it, creating interesting formations and providing a nice contrast.
This stone is found in a large number of locations, including Germany, Sweden, Russia, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Madagascar, South Africa, India, Australia, Canada and the USA.
Rhodonite was used as an important carving stone in Russia, with classic ornamental pillars, serving bowls, tiles, and sculptures made from rhodonite for Russian aristocrats, especially the Russian czars.
Rhodonite has numerous therapeutic qualities. It’s known to soothe the nervous system and vibrates with love. Just holding this gemstone promotes relaxation and brings a sense of well-being.
