Peruvian Rhodonite Cat Head Carving

Peruvian Rhodonite is a unique and beautifully rich variety of rhodonite that comes from the highlands of Peru. Known for its deep pink to rose-red hues, often interlaced with dramatic black manganese veining, Peruvian Rhodonite combines both visual beauty and powerful metaphysical qualities.

Peruvian Rhodonite is considered a master emotional healer and heart activator, especially for emotional trauma and relationship wounds. It's often called the “Rescuer’s Stone” or “Stone of Compassionate Love.”
