Rhodonite Dragonfly Carving

For forgiving something, including yourself.

Rhodonite is a manganese silicate, pink to rose-red and typically threaded with black veins of manganese oxide that formed as the stone weathered. Russia's Ural Mountains produced some of the finest historical material, used extensively in Imperial-era Russian architecture and ornament — including, famously, in the decoration of Saint Petersburg's palaces. Its name comes from Greek rhodon, rose.

The black veining isn't a flaw; it's part of what collectors look for, the contrast making the pink stand out more sharply.

Rhodonite is worked with for forgiveness and emotional balance — closely tied to healing after conflict, whether with someone else or with yourself. It sits with the heart.
