Quartz, Rose

Rose Quartz is a stone of universal and unconditional love and healing. A rosy, pink variety of Quartz, it is one of the most commonly available minerals that has been used for thousands of years. It is even believed to be used at least as far back as 600 B.C and was prized by ancient Egyptians and Romans for its "beautification powers" to prevent wrinkles and clear complexions.

It is one of the most abundantly available (and affordable) minerals on Earth, just like its sister stone, Amethyst, and is commercially mined in places such as Brazil, Germany, India, Japan, Madagascar, Namibia, South Africa, and the USA.

This can bring harmony with everything to teach the true essence of love.

Emotionally and mentally, Rose Quartz is very supportive and calming, especially with heartbreak and stress or tension.

This can attract love of all kinds and create strong bonds, both with others and with yourself.

Rose Quartz can also help increase fertility and prevent miscarriages. As stated before, it is also known for its "beautification" abilities to prevent wrinkles and clear complexions.
