Rhodonite

MnSiO3
Birthstone for Taurus
Aligns with the Heart and Root Chakras

Properties: Rhodonite facilitates mutual understanding and strengthens friendships. It helps to solve conflicts in a constructive manor, and helps one to remain clear and calm even in extreme situations. It is also considered to be an excellent "first aid" stone for both emotional trauma and physical injury, and can help those who have been abused as children to come to terms and move on. All this, and lovely to look at as well!
