Rhodonite 35mm Mushroom Shaped Crystal

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this mushroom-shaped crystal carving: Rhodonite 35mm Mushroom Shaped Crystal (shop SKU A531).

Rhodonite is a manganese silicate, typically pink to rose-red, often with black manganese oxide veining. In crystal traditions, rhodonite is associated with the heart and with emotional balance. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

The title lists a size of 35 mm. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.

• SKU: A531
