Rhodonite Carved & Polished Tortoise

Reminding me of the colour of 'crushed strawberries', Rhodonite is a stone of the present and the future. It is becoming very hard to obtain, so making it very collectable.
Rhodonite carries a powerful healing energy tuned to the thyroid gland, where, thanks to its manganese content, it produces the hormone thyroxin. It has amazing beneficial effects on the central nervous system, counteracting irratibility, refreshing the energy bodies of the tired, weak and dead orgone energy that is no longer needed, aiding digestion and assisting the muscles.
It is considered a real 'heart' stone, attuning itself to the physical heart and inducing compassion, harmony and a commitment to the higher values. It will help you see both sides of a situation.
Often used in Feng Shui, Rhodonite balances the yin and yang energies. If you hold a piece of Rhodonite in your hand and walk around your home with it, you will feel a surge of energy when you hit a spot that is too yang, and then if too yin, the energy will feel lifeless. You can then adjust accordingly. On a physical level Rhodonite is thought to assist the power of speech and hearing in children and adluts with Down's syndrome or Cerebral palsy. It also works to heal scar tissue following an operation and any skin conditions caused by allergies or ulcers. It is considered one of the ultimate heart stones, working on a very practial and grounded level to heal emotional wounds and balance our feelings.
As it is less readily available than other crystals, it is worth investing and holding on to a piece when you buy it. This lovely polished tortoise shape is very tactile to hold!
Tortoises are revered in many ancient cultures as they are believed to carry 'Gaia' on their backs, this is due to the 13 sections of the shell and the link to the sacred number. As such they represent longevity, strength and fortitude.
