Rhodonite Obelisk
Pretty in pink Rhodonite obelisk or tower. Size is roughly 4" x 1.25" x 1.25" and weighs 0.3#
Rhodonite was originally discovered in the late 1700s in the Ural Mountains of Russia but has since been found in locations all over the world. This light pink variety comes to us from Peru.
Its name derives from 'rhodon' the Greek word for rose. Its color can range from pastel pink to deep magenta and it is often found with black veins that form with the oxidation of manganese.
Associated with the heart chakra, it's no surprise this pretty pink crystal promotes feelings of love, affection, and connection. Legend has it that eagles in Russia could be seen carrying pieces of the stone to their nests and it was later used as a protective talisman for babies and travelers.
And fun fact, it is the state stone of Massachusetts due to the significant rhodonite mines in the state!
