Rhodonite from Brazil, such as this gemmy piece, is known as a stimulator of the Pineal gland, and is said to stimulate intuitive guidance. It balances masculine and feminine energy, and it activates the Heart Chakra. This stone is useful in both opening & in clearing blockages of the heart chakra. It enables you to better understand matters of the heart, develop a more loving nature & open your heart to love. It provides assistance to those who have experienced emotional abuse/trauma or suffer from co-dependency or self-destructive behaviors. It opens the pineal gland, which stimulates & better enables on to obtain intuitive guidance. It clears the path between the heart and the mind, making intuitive guidance easier to identify and understand. It is very, very rare to find Rhodonite this gemmy, and the vibrations from this are totally unlike the mottled pink and black rhodonite that is much more common. These vibrations are strong, clear, well-ordered, and accessible. In her books, Melody refers to this crystalline Rhodonite formation as a "Grand Formation."
