HISTORY AND TRADITIONS
The name rhodochrosite comes from the combination of the Greek words “Rhodos,” expressing the color pink, and “Khros,” meaning color; it signifies a connection with the rose, a symbol of love, which can be traced back to the Incas, who called the stone the “Inca Rose.”
INTERESTING FACTS
1. It is said that rhodochrosite can help us find a soulmate
Rhodochrosite is a pink, passionate crystal that encourages you to be adventurous. Just by holding it in your hand, you can feel something driving you toward change and bringing the things you truly want. Perhaps you are alone and your heart longs for a soulmate, a lover, a best friend - someone with whom you can share your hopes and dreams.
Rhodochrosite is a powerful stone of love, vibrating at higher levels than rose quartz, so it can very effectively remove any emotional blocks you have built around the heart chakra and increase your sexual attractiveness.
Legend also says that rubbing this vibrating crystal on your face improves your complexion, making you more beautiful and attractive to new love.

2. It is said that with rhodochrosite you can ask for forgiveness
Rhodochrosite is an excellent crystal when you need to bring suppressed negative emotions to the surface, heal emotional scars and move forward. Interestingly, its second name, Inca Rose, may derive from its appearance in the silver mines of the ancient Incas, where this pink-colored crystal grew as stalagmites and stalactites.
Just like rhodochrosite, our secrets and fears may be hidden deep within our consciousness. When you hold on to old resentments, it can literally eat you alive and over time, if you do not release these feelings, they can cause you physical illness. You need to forgive former loves for leaving you, former friends for not supporting you enough, your parents for their excessive criticism, and yourself for not achieving everything you wanted. Sometimes we do not want to forgive, but even the attempt itself is a process and allows us to live more in the present.

3. It is said that rhodochrosite drives away fears of flying
The beautiful pink striped rhodochrosite is formed by the action of manganese, which penetrates the stone. A crystal can also form, for example, when manganese dissolves in groundwater, combines with carbonate material that falls from the ceiling and through an underground passage, and creates stalagmites and stalactites there.
It is known as another powerful stone of love, but it also dissolves emotional agitation or stress, and can also help remove the fear of flying. Although statistically flying is a much safer means of transportation than driving a car, people are often afraid because they have no control over the situation or are placing their lives in the hands of the pilot, and therefore they become frightened as soon as they board the plane.
Treatment
To cope with anxiety when flying, for example when turbulence occurs or you are flying over water, as soon as you sit down on the plane, hold your rhodochrosite. This gentle, pleasantly pink stone has the ability to dissolve irrational fears, leaving you calm.
PLACEMENT: hold in your palms
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Rhodochrosite is a sufficient material. Small cavities (voids) and uneven “steps” are visible on the fracture surface. Samples may be transparent or translucent.
A distinctive feature of rhodochrosite is its perfect cleavage, which means the mineral is able to form mini-crystals when split by impact. This property determines the difficulty of processing gemstones.
