Collection: Rhodochrosite

Rhodochrosite is a vibrant mineral, distinct for its pink and red color palette. Its name is derived from the Greek words "rhodon" and "chros", meaning "rose colored". This mineral is often sought after by gem and mineral collectors due to its unique crystal formations and deep color. Rhodochrosite is also known for its manganese content, which has significant industrial value. It is most commonly found in Argentina, but notable deposits also exist in South Africa, Mexico and the USA. Besides its aesthetic and commercial appeal, rhodochrosite is often associated with self-love and emotional healing in certain holistic practices.
