Rhodochrosite
In Brazil, our next door neighbor Argentina has the biggest mines of rhodochrosite which is where we source this exotic masterpiece of a stone. The pink color is caused by manganese that carbonates and drips off the ceiling of caves and crevices deep underground. Its name comes from the Greek word, rhodokhros, meaning "rose-colored" which must be why this stone is often associated with love. Some believe this stone can calm and rebalance the nervous system.
