Rhodocrosite

Rhodocrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral that forms in hydrothermal veins, recognized by its pink to red color, rhombohedral crystals, and banded or stalactitic patterns, with notable deposits in Argentina, Peru, and Colorado.

Energetically, it is linked to emotional healing and self-love, supporting the heart in releasing past trauma, fostering compassion and forgiveness, and reconnecting with joy, inner truth, and inner child healing.
