Podcast Transcript: Crystal Confab Podcast Introduction: Are you just starting with crystals? Or maybe you have a whole collection but aren't sure how to use them? Join four crystal nerds, healers, workers, and lovers for a casual chat about all things crystals. Adam Barralet: Hello, everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of Crystal Confab. Today, we're gonna dive into another pink crystal. When people think about pink crystals, rose quartz kind of pushes its way through and holds the spotlight. But today, we shift that spotlight a little to the right, and we're gonna be looking at rhodonite. Now this is a really interesting crystal. I know we've got some show and tell for you today, but let's see if we can help you to build an appreciation for another beautiful gift from mother earth. I'm joined today with Kyle and Nicholas. Gents, thanks so much. Kyle, why do you love this crystal so much? Kyle Perez: Well, let's just look at it for starters. Like, the beautiful shades of pink with black, like, no two pieces of rhodonite are generally the same depending on where it comes from in the world. It can be really, really rich and magenta or it can be really soft pink, and you'll always have well, not always, but often you'll have these beautiful black inclusions as well and it adds such character. This is from New South Wales, this piece of rhodonite, really beautiful slab. This is I think Brazilian, really deep and rich. I have found upon getting into this podcast, I have given so much of it away. It is a crystal that I give away so much. There's something that I do which is called a crystal reading, and I basically will have a bowl of crystals inspired by something that Adam did years ago where I have a bowl of crystals at a market or a fair or something. And amongst those crystals, I will intuitively pick for the person and dive into a reading for them. And there are so many people that I meet when they're at a stage in life, when they are going through changes and transformations and needing to love themselves, needing to focus on themselves, needing to bring that appreciation to self in. For me, Rotonite helps you to love yourself, appreciate yourself. It helps you to know your gifts so you can bring them into any situation, and it helps you to get rid of the I can't or it helps you to worry about what you actually can't do or what you can't bring to situations. I find it really great to help you to know your skill level so you don't overextend yourself in things that you don't need to because there are other people that can do it. Right? I find Rhodonite allows you to fit in, and it's not about a fitting in thing. It's allowing you to fit in wherever you are meant to be. It allows you to charm your way into situations. It allows you to hold space and take up space and know that you deserve to take up this space. It gives that connection to I can, I will, why can't I? I find it really encouraging. I find it protective. I find it supportive, and that's why I think I've given so much of it away to these people in their readings, whether they're going through job change, relationship change, personal shifts, whether it's divorcing, whether its death and rebirth, rhodonite seems to come up again and again and again, and I think that it speaks to its energy. It speaks to its ability. It speaks to its strength of Adam: all of Kyle: it that it can bring to our situations. I find it has more of a push than maybe rhodochrosite, which you often will see side by side. You'll see them compared.
