Primary Information
Rose Quartz is a silicon dioxide crystal and one of the most prevalent Quartz kinds. The gentle rose tint, which ranges from pale pink to deep reddish pink, inspired its name. It normally appears as a huge crystal, but it can also develop in clusters of little prismatic crystals. It ranges in transparency from opaque to translucent to hazy.
According to legend, Rose Quartz was formed when Adonis, the Greek (and Roman) goddess Aphrodite’s lover, was attacked by Ares, the god of war, disguised as a boar. When Aphrodite ran to save him, she tripped over a briar bush, and their blood mixed together, turning the white Quartz pink.
Rose Quartz facial masks have been discovered in ancient Egyptian tombs, where they were once employed for attractiveness. Rose Quartz was thought to cleanse and enhance a beautiful complexion, as well as prevent wrinkles, by the Romans and Egyptians. It was a stone revered by Tibetan and Oriental cultures, and it is currently one of China’s most popular carving stones.

The soft pink emanations of Rose Quartz comforts and heals any wounds the heart has suffered, penetrating the inner chambers of the Heart Chakra where emotional experiences are recorded and stored.

Rose Quartz has a feminine tone and is one of the Great Mother’s stones. It not only awakens the Heart Chakra, but it also connects with the Earth’s and Universe’s hearts.
