Rhodochrosite Statement Lariat – RARE VARIETIES - Gemmy & Matrix Blend

Rhodochrosite Statement Necklace – Gemmy & Matrix Blend

Two rare varieties of Rhodochrosite

This handmade statement necklace features two strands of gorgeous, natural Rhodochrosite beads, crafted with a unique blend of high-grade banded gems and matrix-rich varieties. Designed for versatility, it can be worn layered for drama or styled as a single, flowing centerpiece with its bold silver ring and decorative drop.

Origin & History

Rhodochrosite, also known as Inca Rose Stone or Raspberry Spar, is celebrated for its striking pink hues and calming, nurturing energy. The gemmy, banded beads in this necklace come from premium Argentinian deposits, famous for their vivid, almost candy-like pinks and intricate cream or white bands. The matrix-rich beads — with warm browns, taupes, and soft greys — are also genuine Rhodochrosite, formed alongside manganese oxide and other host minerals. This pairing of refined and earthy material reflects the stone’s natural diversity.

Historically, the Incas believed Rhodochrosite was the crystallized blood of their ancestral kings and queens, carrying a deep connection to love, compassion, and heritage.

Eastern Healing Perspectives (TCM & Ayurveda)

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Rhodochrosite nourishes Xin (Heart) energy, invigorates blood flow, and calms Shen (spirit). It is often used to address heart-related imbalances — both physical and emotional — such as palpitations, stress, grief, and blood stagnation. Its gentle heat supports circulation, making it beneficial in TCM for cold hands/feet, chronic fatigue, and sluggish healing after illness or injury.

In Ayurveda, Rhodochrosite is associated with balancing Sadhaka Pitta, which governs emotional processing, joy, and heart health. It is recommended to soothe emotional trauma, support self-love, and harmonize relationships. Its cooling-yet-energizing effect is also believed to help skin vitality and reproductive health.

Best Pairings for Healing Support

• For emotional healing & grief – Pair with Lepidolite or Rose Quartz.
• For circulation & heart strength – Combine with Garnet or Ruby.
• For grounding & protection during emotional work – Add Black Tourmaline or Smoky Quartz.
• For stress relief & sleep support – Wear with Amethyst or Howlite.

Western Metaphysical Perspective

In Western crystal healing, Rhodochrosite is known as the “Stone of the Compassionate Heart.” It encourages deep emotional release, self-forgiveness, and the ability to receive love without fear. Many practitioners use it to strengthen romantic and family bonds, release old wounds, and attract positive relationships.

Care Tips

• Avoid prolonged sun exposure – can cause color fading.
• Do not soak in water – as Rhodochrosite is relatively soft (Mohs 3.5–4) and can be damaged by long moisture contact.
• Store separately – to prevent scratches from harder stones.

Cleansing & Charging

• Gentle cleansing – Wipe with a soft cloth or briefly rinse in cool water (dry immediately).
• Energetic cleansing – Use moonlight, sound (singing bowl), or smudging with sage/palo santo.
• Charging – Place near Rose Quartz or Amethyst, or in morning sunlight for no more than 15 minutes.

SIZING:

• Entire Piece is aprox 40inch in length (includes the lariat piece)
• Aprox 34 1/2inch Single Layer
• Aprox 17inch when worn doubled but you can adjust the look 
• Weight: 4.9oz 

Suggested Ritual – Heart-Centered Meditation (Evening)

Wear the necklace, sit comfortably, and place your hands over your heart. Take slow, deep breaths. Visualize soft pink light radiating from your chest, expanding with each inhale. With each exhale, imagine releasing any emotional heaviness or self-criticism. End by affirming: “I am worthy of love, I am open to love, I am love.”

Transparency

Each necklace is handmade using 100% natural Rhodochrosite beads in two varieties: gemmy, banded high-grade Rhodochrosite and matrix-rich Rhodochrosite. Every bead is unique, showing variations in color, pattern, and matrix content — a testament to their natural origin.
