According to stone medicine, Rhodochrosite promotes activity, liveliness, eroticism and spontaneous emotional expressions. It brings positive energy and makes light and buoyant, so that upcoming tasks can be accomplished with ease and successfully.
Origin of the raw material Rhodochrosite: Argentina; the rough comes from an area with bands of brown Calcite-Aragonite.
Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749-1817) first named Rhodochrosite manganese spar, taking into account its chemical composition and good cleavability. In 1813 Friedrich Hausmann (1782-1859) gave the Rhodochrosite its name "Rhodochrosite" which is still valid today. This is derived from the ancient Greek words "rhodo" (rose) and "chrosite" (color). Spellings like Rhodhocrosite, Rhodochosite, Rhodocrosite, Rodhocrhosite, Rodochrosite or Rodocrosite are therefore not correct. Nowadays obsolete names for the Rhodochrosite are Incaspat/Inkarose, Raspberry spar, Rose spar and Manganese spar.
