Rhodochrosite November 2019 Crystal- Rhodochrosite Rhodochrosite meaning is all about love. Love of oneself, love of others, spiritual love, love of Mother Earth and universal love are all at the heart of rhodochrosite meaning. This deep pink to red gemstone resonates with the heart to promote love of oneself. It helps heal old wounds so that you can love yourself again and feel worthy of the love of others. This beautiful deep pink stone is perfect for finding new love, renewing old love and making a new loved one feel confident in his or her place in the relationship. It is the perfect gemstone to give to a new member of the family when they are brought in through adoption or the remarriage of their parents. The Greek word for pink, the Rhodochrosite crystal meaning is associated with the rose, the symbol of love that can be traced back to the Incas, who called the stone "Inca Rose." According to legend, these pink gems formed from the blood of their kings and queens. Ruled by the planet Venus, the Rhodochrosite crystal stone meaning comes from its healing pink hue, the color of love. Like the soft petals of a rose, Rhodochrosite stones and jewelry have sweet side effects like compassion, deeper emotional connections, and openness to love without judgment or expectations. The green leaves of the rose stem symbolize our potential for growth while the thorns remind us to face painful truths with loving awareness. Physical Healing Energy- Rhodochrosite contains manganese, an important physiological component of the body necessary for bone growth, tissue repair, and assimilation of minerals. Rhodochrosite is traditionally used to assist the heart and circulatory systems, stabilize blood pressure and pulse rate, and placed at the base of the skull, to relieve tension migraines. It is thought to correct thyroid imbalances, and remove irritants from the lungs, ameliorating breathing problems and asthma. Rhodochrosite is highly esteemed for its effectiveness when used in elixirs. Taken internally, it supports the relief of infections, such as ear or sinus infections, stomach ulcers, and other inflammations, as well as digestive disorders, such as constipation and abdominal pain, and aids in strengthening the walls of the intestines. An elixir of Rhodochrosite may be employed to bolster treatments for the conditions listed above. (We highly recommend the indirect method of preparation for all internal elixirs.) Rhodochrosite is an exceptional stone for directly attacking somatization, the physical disorders that stem from emotional or mental suffering. Gem Rhodochrosite, or an elixir made from these crystals, can be an invaluable ally for use alongside treatments for healing cancer, liver purifications, coronary issues and other disease. Rhodochrosite is also ideal for nervous system imbalances, offering energetic healing for the myelin sheath that covers and protects the nerves. Though not a cure, it provides remarkable relief for the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, and some cases of multiple sclerosis, especially when used in conjunction with Rhodonite. It can also be of benefit in withdrawal from caffeine and other stimulants. Rhodochrosite is highly effective for skin disorders. Shingles, a painful viral infection caused by the chicken pox virus, may emerge when one is depressed or in mourning, and some types of rash, hives and boils are physical manifestations of stress, depression and anxiety. A soothing elixir for external skin disorders may be made by placing Rhodochrosite in distilled water (or other natural mineral/spring water), then energizing the mixture in sunlight for several days. Heat the water and soak a cloth in it for use as a poultice. It not only relieves itchy or painful irritations, but penetrates the infected areas of the tissues for cleansing, as well as removing the dysfunctional negative aspects that are present. Emotional Healing Energy- Rhodochrosite is a rescue/remedy stone, one that not only aids those in need, but one that rescues the rescuer. It first directs its energy to the self, specifically for the purposes of emotional healing. It enables one to go deep within the heart to safely acknowledge, relive, and then release one’s emotional wounds. Rhodochrosite helps one face the truth about oneself and others, without excuses or evasion, but with loving awareness. It assists in identifying negative behaviors and ongoing patterns and brings compassion and healing, self-forgiveness, as well as an understanding of others’ responsibility for their actions. Its purifying energy cleanses and balances the emotional body, bringing resolution, peace and renewal. It is the foremost ally in healing childhood wounds, and is often referred to as the “Inner Child Stone.” It is the perfect healer for anyone who was abandoned or feels unloved, and is the stone par excellence for healing sexual abuse. Chakra Healing & Balancing Energy- Rhodochrosite reflects the Light of the heart and love, and stimulates the Heart Chakra. The Heart Chakra is located near the center of the breastbone and regulates our interaction with the external world and controls what we embrace and what we resist. It gives us the balancing ability to be ourselves within the environment, and helps in our relationships. Rhodochrosite’s task is also to clear and activate the Solar Plexus Chakra, the energy distribution center and the chakra of relationships. This chakra is located between the ribcage and navel, and controls the immune and digestive systems. When balanced physically, we have strength to fight infections, are free of allergic reactions, and are able to use the nutrients we ingest. When the Solar Plexus is out of balance spiritually, we feel fear - of the disappointment or displeasure of others, or to subordinating our life and pleasures to the will of others. Spiritually, when the Solar Plexus is in balance we are free to interpret the world through our own thoughts and emotions and not live in fear of violating the dictums of others. Spiritual Energy- Rhodochrosite is a remarkable stone for enhancing spirituality and attuning to one’s higher self. Worn in jewelry or carried, used in meditation or crystal healing layouts, it expands one’s consciousness, channeling spiritual awareness into the physical body to be manifested. It is a great tool for contemplating the duality of nature and how it affects one’s life. Rhodochrosite provides a marvelous link to the Divine Feminine. Hold in the hand to connect with female Ascended Masters, including Mother Mary, Kuan Yin, Isis, and Mary Magdalene, and to acquire the qualities of the feminine Christ consciousness, compassion, inner peace, tolerance, and love. In addition to its general properties, Gem Rhodochrosite is esteemed for healing disconnection from the spiritual realms and inspiring one to open the heart to universal love. It links one into the karmic purpose of the present incarnation, and enables one to see prior soul contracts and renegotiate these if necessary. Goddesses- Rhodochrosite honors Nisaba, the Summerian Knowledge Goddess and Goddess of the Palace Archives. As a writer, scribe, activist and architect, she is symbolized by an inscribing stylus. She also helps with interpreting dreams. Feng Shui- Rhodochrosite with its Pink color is used in the southwest area of a room or home. It is associated with love, romance, and motherhood. Use it in the southwest area of a room or home to bring the feminine energy of growth and maternal love alive. Wearing, carrying or meditating with Rhodochrosite helps make one buoyant and cheerful, dynamic and active. It is mentally enlivening, stimulating one’s creativity, dream states and sense of personal power. It allows for spontaneous expression of feelings, and can enhance passion and sexuality. [Gienger, 73][Hall, 245][Ahsian, 328-329] Rhodochrosite is a great stone for calling a new love into one’s life, a friend or a romantic partner that is a soulmate, one who helps us learn necessary lessons for our higher good. This stone can beautifully guide one in the quest for emotional happiness, help one move forward after a period of doubt, and express love toward others without fear of rejection. Rhodochrosite increases mind-to-mind or telepathic links between you and family members or animals. It can also be used as a calling-back crystal to generate news or contact with a lost friend, relative or former love. Place the crystal next to a photograph of the missing person and place your hands on either side of the stone. Visualize where and when you were last together, say the person’s name softly three times and ask them to get in touch or send news. For a pet, imagine it back in its place, and leave the crystal where it used to love sitting or sleeping, or on a surface near the exit or entrance the animal used most. Rhodochrosite is a valuable Earth stone for healing the planet and showing love to the Mother of us all. It not only assists us in serving Earth in her time of need, but demonstrates the joy that can come from this responsibility. This is a wonderful stone for helping children transition into childcare or school, or for attending a new school or college to settle in and find friends easily. It makes a great gift for new family members, such as those acquired by remarriage or adoption. In the Crystal Tarot, Rhodochrosite represents O, The Fool. It instructs us to see ourselves through the eyes of an innocent child, and to trust that we can accomplish what we set out to do. Rhodochrosite is a natural enhancer for becoming a more mature adult by healing the wounds of childhood, and allowing one to better understand and forgive one’s parents. It is also a marvelous support stone for anyone who works with children, such as pediatricians, elementary school teachers, and caregivers.

The crystal morphologies of the solid solutions vary from blocky spherical crystal aggregates to smaller spheres with an increasing incorporation of Mn in the solids. Regarding dissolution in N2-degassed water, air-saturated water and CO2-saturated water at 25 °C, the aqueous Ca and Mn concentrations reach their highest values after 1240–2400 h, 6–12 h and < 1 h, respectively, and then decrease gradually to a steady state; additionally, the ion activity products (log_IAP) at the fnal steady state ( solubil- ity products in log_K ) are estimated to be 8.46 0.06, 8.44 0.10 and 8.59 0.10 for calcite [CaCO ], ≈respec- sp − ± − ± − ± 3 tively, and 10.25 0.08, 10.26 0.10 and 10.28 0.03, for rhodochrosite [MnCO3], respectively.

These coticules are fine-grained highly manganiferousmetamorphic rocks mainly composed of spessartine garnet, mica and quartz. Similar rocks of about the same age occur in several localities along the Appalachian and Caledonian fold belts. The Belgian coticules are thought to haveoriginated from marly sediments which had beendeposited rapidly, probably by density currents, and in which CaCO, had been diagenetically replaced by MnCO,. During metamorphism, spessartine garnets- were formed from this MnCO, and mica. Manganese and iron are thought to have originated from volcanic-exhalative processes. The Stavelot Massif is one of the five Caledonian Massifs in could be used as a key lithology for correlation along the Belgium. It consists of MiddleCambrian to Lower Appalachian and Caledonian fold belts. Similar rocks have Ordovician strata (Fig. 1, Table 1). The southeastern partof also been described from older (Precambrian) and younger the Stavelot Massifis at a low metamorphicgrade. The strata(Roy & Purkait 1968; Vearncombe 1983; Minnigh LowerOrdovician of the Stavelot Massifis called 1979). Most of these spessartine-rich rocks, however, have “Salmian”.It has been subdivided into Salmian 1 (Sml), morequartz and less mica than the Belgian coticules.

STABLE ISOTOPES OF HYDROTHERMAL CARBONATE MINERALS IN THE BUTTE PORPHYRY-LODE DEPOSITS, MONTANA by Ryan Stevenson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Geosciences Montana Tech 2015 ii Abstract The stable isotopic compositions of over 90 hydrothermal carbonate minerals in the Butte porphyry-lode system were analyzed. These samples came from the underground workings as well as the active Continental Pit area. Most material came from polymetallic “Main Stage” veins which post-date the porphyry Cu-Mo mineralization of Butte. Some samples from late calcite-stellerite veins were also included in the study. Rhodochrosite 13C and 18O values range from -8.3 to -2.9‰ (average of -6.7±1.0‰) and -1.8 to 12.8‰ (average of 3.6 ±3.4‰) respectively, while calcite 13C and 18O values range from -9.0 to -2.6‰ (average of -5.4 ± 1.5‰) and -4.4 to 12.3‰ (average of 6.2±2.8‰) respectively.

Manganese uptake during calcite precipitation from seawater: Conditions leading to the formation of a pseudokutnahorite ALFONSOMUCCI Department of Geological Sciences, McGill University, 3450 University Street, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3A 2A7 (Received September 17, 1987; cicceptedin revisedform April 6, 1988) Abstract-Manganoan magnesian calcite overgrowths were precipitated from artificial seawater at 25°C on inure calcite seeds using a constant disequilibrium technique. The coinposition of the overgrowths, and more specifically their Mn, Mg, Na and Sr content, was determined as a function of the precipitation rate and Mn*+ concentration in the parent solution. X-ray di!Traction patterns indicate that the overgrowths produced were one-phase multicomponent solid solutions, and contained up to 40 mole% MnCO,. The amount of Mn coprecipitated with calcite decreased with increasing precipitation rate. Thus, overgrowths are not in exchange equilibrium with the solutions from which they precipitated. A kinetic model is proposed which adequately describes the composition of the overgrowths in terms of the relative precipitation rate of an 8- 10 mole% magnesian calcite and a “pseudokutnahorite” from seawater. The possible existence of a pseudokutnahorite in marine sediments and its implications are discussed. The concentration of Mg in the overgrowths decreased with increasing MnCOp content, but their Mg:Ca ratio remained nearly constant. Strontium and Na incorporation was strongly dependent on the number of available non- lattices sites.

This article presents stable and radiogenic isotopic data (O, C, D, S, Sr and Nd) in an attempt to better understand the petrogenetic processes and the problem concerning the sources of ore-forming fluids. Granites from the Pervomaika deposit, which includes Mo-ores, as well as the syenite dikes that precede W-mineralization, have low δ18O values (about 5‰ and 4‰ respectively), and low initial ratios 87Sr/86Sr (0.704–0.705). The "Nd (T) values (+0.9–−1.1) in granites and syenites are close to the evolution trend of the mantle-derived source. It was determined that a mantle-derived source was involved in ore-forming processes. It was also confirmed that δ34S values in sulfide minerals (molybdenite, pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and chalcopyrite) were close to the meteoric standard (from −2‰ to +2‰). The δ13C and δ18O values in carbonate minerals (rhodochrosite and ankerite) of the Kholtoson deposit are located within the primary igneous carbonatite (PIC)-square, as a possible 18 juvenile source of CO2.
