Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz is a stone of pure love. It assists in awakening the heart allowing one to find self-love and love for others. A stone for the love junkies and hopeless romantics, this stone has been used in love rituals and ceremonies for centuries.

Rose Quartz carries a feminine energy that encourages compassion, peace, tenderness and emotional healing. The vibrations of this crystal cleanses emotions and aura, healing the heart of its wounds. It promotes the release of tension and stress, and dispels fear and anger, providing a rebirth of faith and hope and faith.

It excels in attracting new love, romance, and intimacy and can be used to heal and develop closer relationships with family and friends. Working with this stone also inspires the love of beauty in all things, especially things that stimulate imagination.

Global Mining Sites

This crystal is very common and is found in many countries around the world, specifically in igneous locations. Rose Quartz is one of the most common varieties in the quartz family and is primarily found in Brazil, India, Madagascar and USA.

History

A symbol for love and beauty, this stone has been used for thousands of years. Ancient Romans used the stone as a seal to signify ownership. The Egyptians left healing Rose Quartz masks in the tombs of their Pharaohs so that they would maintain their beauty.

It was also known as the crystal of Venus (the goddess of love and beauty). The colour of Rose Quartz is explained in one Greek legend. Aphrodite fought Ares to protect her lover Adonis from dying. Upon leaping forwards, she fell into a sharp briar bush. As her and her lover lay wounded, their blood poured out and stained the white quartz pink.

Appearance

Rose Quartz usually forms in the cores of granite and has a cloudy to translucent appearance. It is commonly found as large specimens with no crystal edges. Crystallised clusters of this stone are very rare.

This stone is usually soft in colour, ranging from light pale pink to a deep hot pink (which can have reddish hues) which is due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, and manganese. The colour is very stable and will not fade with heat or direct sunlight.

Which Crystals to Pair with?

Rose Quartz generally harmonises well with most stones, assisting with purifying and balancing all energies.

In particular, any of the heart chakra stones works well with this crystal. Specific crystals from this group include some lovely pink and green stones such as Pink Tourmaline, Rhodonite, Rhodochrosite, Morganite, Emerald and Green Jade.

When also combined with Tiger Eye it assists in realising the heart’s desires and acting on them. Specifically, Blue Tiger Eye enhances Rose Quartz’s ability to dispel negative energies and cleanse them from the aura.

When paired with Moldavite it provides a powerful enhancement to one’s abilities of spiritual awakening and transformation through the heart centre and the power of love embodied within.
