Rhodochrosite
Have you been longing for a dream romantic partner, or perhaps for an entire life infused with romance? Romanticism is, after all, a whole frame of mind. It was even a philosophic and artistic movement back in the early 19th century. And if there was ever a mineral to symbolize that movement, this would be it. Beloved by many for its gorgeous pink to red shades that can be banded with white, rhodochrosite is as soft and lovely as the rose it was named after. And while translucent varieties exist that make exquisite gems, they need to be treated with care, for this is a fragile rock that is easily scratched or broken. The same might be said for a romantic heart: It’s beautiful and risks being hurt. If rhodochrosite is coming up for you now, it may be a sign that romance is coming your way. Or it may just be nudging you to try embracing romanticism as an art and philosophy. To do that, take a cue from the rock itself: Keep your heart soft, be willing to risk having it broken, and open yourself to all the beauty of life.
