Rose Quartz

An Introduction to Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is known as the Love Stone for its ability to send out love and also draw love to the wearer. This variety of Quartz ranges from very light pink to medium pink in intensity. It is often dyed to create a brighter pink hue, but natural, un-dyed, tumbled stones, carvings and beads can also be sourced. Rose Quartz is often milky or hazy, in contrast to the translucence of most other quartz varieties.

There are many stories and legends surrounding how Rose Quartz came into existence. One legend has it that Cupid, a Roman god of desire and affection, introduced this precious gemstone to the world as a gift of love, passion, and overall happiness. Another tale stemmed from Egyptian folklore. It was believed that Rose Quartz was a prized possession amongst the Egyptians, using this gemstone to create facial masks, and placing them among the treasures in their tombs. It was also believed that the Assyrians were one of the first groups to use Rose Quartz in the form of jewelry.

Rose Quartz is a very versatile healing crystal, pairing well with many other gems to add a boost of love energy to their properties. Rose Quartz connects to the Heart Chakra, and helps your heart to heal from pain or trauma, resulting from deep emotional wounds. Rose Quartz can help you bring about more love into your life.
