Image from Charms of Light

Rhodochrosite is a lustrous pearly mineral of the calcite group. It usually comes in a variety of pinks, roses and reds, but there are also grey and white specimens.

Found in Argentina, Peru, South Africa and the US, this stone is sometimes called Raspberry Spar or Inca Rose. According to Crystal meanings, the Incas believed it was the solidified blood of their deceased kings and queens.

Energetically, rhodochrosite is associated with the heart. It may be worn to soothe stress and encourage a positive outlook.
