Origin: Rose quartz can be found across the United States, Germany, Madagascar, Brazil, South Africa, Sweden, India and Australia. It belongs to the family of quartz and is a variety that is found within the group of oxides.
Most people know rose quartz as a love stone. In ancient times, it was considered to attract beauty and love. Facial masks of Rose Quartz have been recovered from Egyptian tombs, as it was thought by the Egyptians and Romans to clear the complexion and prevent wrinkles¹.
Main uses: Love, gentleness, emotional healing, release of stress, uniting with the Divine.
The Power of Rose Quartz
According to Robert Simmons in “The Book of Stones”² , rose quartz helps dissolve one’s boundaries of isolation and mistrust and moves one into the sense of union with the All that is the essence at the core of the heart.
Rose quartz’s spiritual meaning is not just about attracting love but also warmth and compassion. That is why rose quartz is used in gem therapy as a powerful healing crystal. Its effect on the heart chakra is strong but gentle, as it can help us release emotions such as pain and sorrow.
How to Cleanse Rose Quartz
One of the most common ways to cleanse a rose quartz crystal is to place the stone in a bowl full of water, add some sea salt, and submerge the stone overnight, if possible on a full moon night.
