Crystal Lore: Rhodonite
Relationships • Forgiveness • Balance
{ Folklore }
Rhodonite gets its name from the Greek word for “rose” and is often referred to as the “rescue stone” as it is strongly associated with relationship healing.
{ Relationships }
Rhodonite is a stone that helps create realistic relationships when seeking love and also when dating. Being a pink and black stone, it combines a loving pink energy with a grounding black energy. Arguments, disappointments and problems can occur in a relationship when we have unrealistic expectations of how a partner should behave and act.
- Wear some Rhodonite jewellery or carry it with you in a drawstring pouch when you feel you need to be more grounded in a relationship, and need to see and appreciate your partner for who they are.
Rhodonite is also the stone you should turn to after a relationship breaks up. Before entering a new relationship, we need to learn the lessons of the previous one so we don’t make the same mistakes again, and get closure.
- Meditate, think about, or write down in your journal the positive and negative aspects of the relationship (look for both, there needs to be balance).
{ Post Relationship Break Up Ritual }
- Hold Rhodonite in your projective hand.
- Send all the pain, the lessons, the memories and feelings of the relationship into the rhodonite.
- Bury the crystal in a pot plant.
- Your projective hand is the hand which sends energy – most righthanded people would use their right hand as their projective hand.
- The other hand is known as the receptive hand - it receives energy.
{ Forgiveness }
- Wear rhodonite jewellery or carry a piece in a drawstring pouch with you after a relationship break up to learn to learn to love yourself again and appreciate your own company.
{ Balance }
Rhodonite is associated with balance and harmony.
It is said that if you hold a piece of rhodonite and walked around your space / house, rhodonite will help you detect the yin/yang imbalance.
If the energies are unbalanced you will feel it.
Too much yang - you will feel a surge of energy in your fingers.
- Try: place a rhodonite with more black than pink in the space.
Too much yin - you will feel a lifeless feeling.
- Try: place a rhodonite with more pink than black in the space.
- Try: keeping a pot plant with a piece of rhodonite for each member in your house will help keep the balance and harmony.
