Rhodonite Bracelets
Rhodonite was named after the Greek word
for rose, rhodon. It is in fact a Manganese Iron Magnesium Calcium Silicate. Rhodonite has beautiful pink color, sometimes with spots and patterns of black. There is a legend that says shortly after rhodonite
was discovered in Russia, people noticed that great eagles which inhabited the Ural Mountains carried small pieces of rhodonite in their claws and put them into their
nests. The peoples of
the Urals started then to follow eagle’s
example and put pieces of rhodonite into their babies’ cradles – in order to make babies grow as strong as mountain eagles.
