Rhodochrosite is a precious gem as ancient as the Inca Civilization of South America. This beautiful pink gem held a position of great value in the now lost mystic civilization.
The Incas not only used this gem in their jewellery and Royal memorabilia but also revered this gem; as they believed it was endowed by their Gods with mystical and spiritual powers.
Today Rhodochrosite is Argentina's "national gemstone".
It is commonly found in the form of stalactites and stalagmites in the caves of Argentina. Rhodochrosite (whose name means rose-coloured) often forms pink and white bands.
It is many a time carved into figurines or boxes, while tubular stalactite formations are often sliced for use in jewellery. Fine gem quality crystals are sometimes cut into gemstones for use in high end jewellery, but more common grad is used extensively in silver and gold jewellery.
A romantic mysticism surrounds this gem since the times of the Inca people. It is believed to be not only a decorative gem stone used in jewellery and collectibles but a stone whose healing, spiritual and magical powers have a definitive effect on the lives of human beings.
The Incas who called it Inca Rose attributed all kinds of energy powers to this gemstone. They believed that Rhodocrosite had the power to influence energies like love, friendship, health healing, wealth and longevity.
The effect of its mysticism has endured over the millennia. In the modern world it is believed to have influences on the spiritual chakras of the human being.
The Frequency of Rhodochrosite is surrounded by the heavenly energies imbued with the golden sphere of Light and emits not only the pink/red aura rays of influence, but a harmonious blend of pink and light orange. It not only heals the Heart Chakra, but is supposed to be the God-sent deliverer whose purpose and mission is to clear the Solar Plexus and integrate the energies of the physical and spiritual realms.
Rhodochrosite is also believed to help in the development of freedom within; by helping to resolve inner conflicts as a stone of love and balance.
Today Rhodochrosite is also found in Colorado mines. It is the official mineral of Colorado and sometimes beautiful transparent specimens can be found that are suitable for cutting faceted stones.
In American jewellery Rhodochrosite has a place of pride as a central gem stone.
A woman of flair and oomph needs this gemstone to make a precious fashion statement in her jewellery treasury!
