This magical material is from Argentina, probably from San Luis or Capillitas. It is difficult to get good cutting rough because the government owns the mines and limits production. While Rhodochrosite has a hardness of only 4 it is much loved for its distinctive color and patterning. It is not easily mistaken for any other stone. The Incas believed that rhodochrosite is the blood of their former rulers, turned to stone, therefore it is sometimes called "Rosa del Inca" or "Inca Rose". Rhodochrosite is formed in low temperature hydrothermal veins in ore deposits of silver, lead, zinc, and copper and also in sedimentary manganese deposits. 

Rhodochrosite is a stone known for its powerful emotional healing properties, offering support in matters of love, compassion, and self-worth. Its beautiful pink hues symbolize the heart and encourage the release of past wounds, promoting forgiveness and inner peace. Rhodochrosite is believed to open the heart chakra, fostering emotional balance and helping individuals embrace self-love and empathy for others. It’s often associated with increasing positivity, joy, and a deep connection to one's inner self. This crystal is also thought to enhance creativity and aid in transforming negative energy into light, making it a powerful tool for personal growth and emotional healing.
