Rhodonite Palm Stone

Large Rhodonite Palm Stone with black manganese inclusions is quite a hand hold! Actually the pink colour comes from the manganese too. Reminds me of the rivers in life we travel especially those that travel the country of relationships with others.

This crystal promotes the energy of love into the outer world. It helps those who are good at receiving love and support from others but not so quick to offer it. A stone of altruism and generosity, using your talents to bring gifts to others which offers greater satisfaction to yourself than any amount of receiving you take. I found it amazing in taking me out of resentment into acceptance of difficult situations. You can read more on the Healing tab.

We got a mixed batch of quality. Some had high quality pink but a lot black so I priced lower. We have more of these new rhodonite palm stones at the shops as the price is so much less than via Peru or Brazil.
