Rhodochrosite
This gemstone is not associated with any birth month.
In 2002, Colorado officially named Rhodochrosite as its state mineral. Rhodochrosite is found worldwide, but some of the best specimens ever were
found at the Sweet Home mine near Alma, Colorado.
Rhodochrosite is believed to cultivate love and compassion, and is considered to promote intuition and aid in creative pursuits. This crystal is typically rose red in color, but can also be found in beautiful shades of pink to pale brown. The gem’s name is derived from combining the Greek words for rose “rhodon’’ and “chroma” meaning color. The gem is relatively soft and has perfect cleavage. It is very difficult to cut and is rarely found faceted. Lapidarists who have taken the time to study this gemstone are able to create cabochon cuts and the result is a beautiful, pinkish-red treasure that is ideal for collectors or for setting into pendants. Care should be taken when this gemstone is set for a ring.
