Rhodochrosite is a mineral collectors mineral AND a crystal loved by the metaphysical/esoteric communities, crossing the bridge due to its incredible aesthetics, the forms, shapes and patterns naturally created in this mineral are, at times, beyond comprehension.
Loved by the ancient native peoples of South America, where much is found, with the lore of it being a link to "the blood of the ancestors", and personally loved since I learned about it in my gemmologist degree, as it has a descriptive that will never leave my brain, "streaky bacon". If you know, you know.
Famous locations include Sweet Home, Colorado, USA., N'Chwanning in South Africa, and of course the gemmy Japanese varieties that look exquisite, this is a mineral of the heart, that draws you in to its beauty, and then into yourself to discover your own beauty and self love.
