Rhodonite

Rhodonite is a powerful heart-centred stone known for its grounding, nurturing, and emotionally balancing properties. The name Rhodonite comes from the Greek word “rhodon” meaning “rose,” due to its pink, rose-like colour. In the 18^th century it became the official state gemstone of Russia and was called the “Eagle Stone” and Russian Tsars commissioned tombstones, decorative panels, and even sarcophagi made of Rhodonite which was a stone frequently given as a gift for protection and emotional strength. It is widely used as an emotional first aid stone offering calm and clarity in emotionally intense situations.

Rhodonite is associated with both the Heart and Root Chakras for emotional healing, love, grounding, balance and compassion.

Rhodonite is thought to support the heart and circulation, it is also associated with purification of the body, especially the liver and blood. Many believe that it can relieve inflammation and joint pain and it is sometimes used in energy healing to calm physical tension. It is also thought that this stone can boost the immune system and support vitality and systemic balance

Emotionally Rhodonite shines as a stone for resilience and relationship healing. It can help release resentment, anger, and emotional wounds especially around feelings of betrayal, abandonment, and unresolved grief. It promotes forgiveness and reconciliation, supporting healing in broken relationships or family dynamics. It can help to build emotional strength and self-worth, reduce co-dependency, aid in recognising and releasing toxic emotional patterns and encourages self-confidence and boundary setting. It offers a stabilising energy in overwhelming times.

Spiritually Rhodonite aligns the heart with grounded action and helps turn love and empathy into practical, real-world behaviour. It can cleanse the aura, especially energies tied to old emotional wounds. It promotes spiritual compassion, unity, and self-love and some believe it can help resolve karmic emotional wounds that have been carried over lifetimes. It is a stone that can put you on a path of healing, caregiving, or community leadership.
