These tumbled stones come from Catamarca Province, Argentina. It's soft (Mohs 3.5), so handle it with a little care, keep it dry, and store it in its own pouch so harder stones don't scratch it.
Rhodochrosite is traditionally a stone for working through difficult feelings at your own pace, opening to connection, with yourself and others, and coming back to yourself with kindness.
