In Japan, it is more commonly known as Inca Rose, but its official name is Rhodochrosite.
The word “rhodochrosite” is derived from the Greek words “road” meaning rose, “cro” meaning color, and “site” meaning stone.
Rhodochrosite is said to have come to be called Inca Rose because it is produced in the Andes Mountains, where the Inca Empire flourished.
Inca rose has different shades of pink and patterns depending on its place of origin.
I think the most common are the Inca rose with a striped pattern like wood grain and the Inca rose with white stripes on a pink background.
There are also raspberry pink and red Inca roses without stripes.
In recent years, it is said that Inca rose is no longer being extracted, and the amount of mining is decreasing rapidly.
Therefore, power stones are becoming more expensive as the years go by, so if you have an Inca Rose that you like, you should buy it as soon as possible.
The Inca Rose is said to bring rosy happiness, perhaps because of the pink color of the stone.
Also known as the stone of love and trust, it is said to bring good love and lead us to a loving life.
It is also said to increase the owner’s spontaneity, positivity, and vitality, and to restore self-confidence.
It is also said to heal other broken hearts and lead to new love.
When I do a crystal reading and it comes up that I need an Inca Rose, I read that my heart is hurting.
Since Inca Rose is a stone of love, the meaning and effects of romantic happiness tend to attract more attention, but love is also a powerful regenerator of wounded hearts.
The power of Inca Rose to repair emotional wounds is particularly strong, and I think that effect was more strongly focused on in the past, but nowadays, even when searching on the Internet, the effect of love fulfillment seems to be more dominant than such effect.
And I read that the level of heartbreak that comes out of a reading and the need for incarceration is a bigger wound than you think.
Because in the case of a small amount of emotional trauma, it comes in the form of stress.
Therefore, I believe that Inca Rose is a good stone to be worn when the heart is broken and the energy is so low that you don’t want to do anything, rather than for love fulfillment.
