Rhodonite is a pink-hued manganese silicate mineral known for its love-centered healing properties, often found in jewelry and ornamental pieces, sometimes with distinctive black veins. Its name comes from the Greek word for "rose" due to its color. Metaphysically, it is considered a "rescue stone" for promoting forgiveness, compassion, and self-love by releasing toxic emotions. In terms of physical properties, rhodonite is typically found in opaque to translucent forms with a vitreous luster when polished.
