Rhodonite
Element: Fire
Deities: Pomba Gira, Mary Magdalene, Venus
Spiritual Use: Receptive, balancing the yin/yang energies, finding peace or love or both
Rhodonite can balance the yin/yang energies and help you find peace. It dispels anxiety and promotes a feeling of oneness with all of creation, especially with other human beings.
This stone can also help you find true, unconditional love by activating, stimulating and clearing the heart chakra. It will also ground your physical and emotional energy at the same time. This "earthy-Venus" connection is probably why rhodonite is associated with the sign of Taurus.
Medically, rhodonite has been used to treat emphysema, swollen joints, streptococcal throat infections, heart problems and arthritis.
Rhodonite and bloodstone seem to work well together.
