    Rhodonite: Meaning, Metaphysical & Healing Properties

    Rhodonite is a stone of love, self-love, balancing the masculine and feminine energy within us (yin and yang) and a stone that brings dormant talents to the surface to be shared with the world. Its energy works primarily on the level of the heart chakra.
