Rhodonite

Rhodonite's pink base is streaked with black manganese oxide veins, giving it a distinctive marbled look unlike its softer pink cousins. It's traditionally associated with forgiveness and emotional balance, often used to work through old wounds or resentment, and is also linked to compassion in relationships. The contrast between its warm pink and dark veining makes it a striking, grounded-feeling stone rather than a purely soft one. It's commonly worn as beads or set into pendants for daily emotional support.
