For centuries, people have sought after rhodochrosite. Its name derives from the Greek words rhodon meaning 'rose', and chroma meaning 'color'. Since the 13th century, when the Incas mined silver in Argentina, rhodochrosite has been used as a significant source in jewelry.
 
Rhodochrosite encourages a positive attitude, along with creativity and innovation. A mala's spiritual benefits are enhanced by its use during meditation.  Use it to set intentions and manifest your goals.
 
Mala necklaces are often referred as mala beads, prayer beads, intention beads and mantra beads.
