• Type of jewellery: Set of 25 runes

• Type of stone: Rhodonite

In ancient times, rhodonite was given to friends to prove the sincerity of feelings towards them. It therefore represents friendship. If you have a close friend you can always count on, consider giving him/her this set of 25 rhodonite runes and explain the symbolism associated to it. He/she will certainly appreciate this. The set of 25 runes has a Nordic origin. It is used to predict the future. According to the Greeks, rhodonite is effective in protecting against bad energy and robbers. It was often worn as an amulet to ward off pirates when travelling. No sailor would leave without his stone.

Rhodonite was first appreciated by the Russians. Craftsmen began to produce mosaics from this mineral. These were very successful throughout the 20th century. In some cathedrals and imperial palaces, you can find decoration made entirely from rhodonite. Tsar Alexander II loved his wife so much that he covered entirely her tomb with it. It took 16 long years to achieve such an architectural feat and another decade to move the construction to the desired location.

Maintenance of the Set of 25 Rhodonite Runes

• When the energy present in rhodonite decreases, you should normally be aware of it. You will feel it less present and above all, you will start to doubt its lithotherapic virtues.

• As soon as you feel the moment coming, start by purifying the stone by putting it in a bowl of distilled water, in a flowerpot or near a stick of incense. It is recommended not to use tap water, which is far too hard.

• Similarly, you should avoid using salt in the purification ritual. To recharge the stone, remember to let it dry and rest for a few hours in the sun. You can place it on an amethyst geode or a cluster of quartz to increase its virtues. If you take good care of the set of 25 rhodonite runes, you will be able to keep it for years.
