Handmade 'Chalice & Host' rosary beads made with 6mm Rhodochrosite and 8mm faceted Rose Quartz semi-precious stones on gold brass craft wire.

Known as the ‘Stone of the Compassionate Heart’, Rhodochrosite symbolizes selfless love, moving one beyond mere empathy but stirring one to action on others’ behalf. Rhodochrosite, however, directs that love first toward the self for the specific purpose of emotional healing. It is a great stone for calling a new love into one’s life, a friend or a romantic partner that is a soulmate, one who helps us learn necessary lessons for our higher good. This stone can beautifully guide one in the quest for emotional happiness, help one move forward after a period of doubt, and express love toward others without fear of rejection.

The fair and lovely Rose Quartz, with its gentle pink essence, is a stone of the heart – a crystal of unconditional love. It carries a soft feminine energy of compassion and peace, tenderness and healing, nourishment and comfort. Reawakening the heart to its own innate love, it provides a deep sense of personal fulfilment and contentment, allowing one the capacity to truly give and receive love from others.

Total length is 17.5" and comes in a handmade lined crochet pouch. Prayer cards and short description of stones also included.
