Crystal Profile: Rhodochrosite

Rhodochrosite is the stone of unconditional love, and deep healing from trauma and abuse. Whenever I work with this stone, I receive the words 'sacrifice' and 'forgiveness'. And the key for Rhodochrosite is unconditional sacrifice. This might sound like a given (what else can sacrifice be?), but sacrifice is often-times given with an assurance that it will trigger a specific outcome or change. Unconditional sacrifice (and forgiveness – forgiveness is a form of sacrifice, for a part of us must be shed in order to forgive) is given because the other person / people / circumstances need it – that is all – regardless of anything that might be gained. Rhodochrosite helps us come to terms with the healing and changes required in order to sacrifice and forgive in this manner. Through this, we reach the ultimate goal of unconditional love. ​
