It is beneficial to use for self-worth issues, anorexia and/or bulimia, herpes, colon and prostate illness, bladder, kidney and reproductive organ health. Rhodochrosite is the perfect stone to learn to assimilate painful growth experiences without shutting the heart down.In Incan culture Rhodocrosite was thought to have formed from the blood of passed kings and queens, as such it has been associated with the rebirth of the heart.
