Rose Quartz is a rose-pink variety of the Silicate mineral Quartz. Found in hydrothermal veins & pegmatites, it is abundantly sourced around the world from places such as Brazil, South Africa, India, Madagascar, Namibia, Mozambique, Sri Lanka & USA (specifically South Dakota). This famous gem gets its stunning blush hue from microscopic fibrous inclusions of a pink borosilicate mineral, closely related to Dumortierite. Some specimens can even contain a dense network of tiny inclusions that can result in an asterism effect - a beautiful six-ray star that shines across the stone's surface (often called Star Rose Quartz). A stone of love & healing, Rose Quartz has been used as an ornamental material as far back as 7,000 BCE. Ancient cultures believed that this crystal opened the heart to romance, blessed women with a beautiful complexion, & prevented ageing & wrinkles. The highest quality Rose Quartz stones often showcase a transparent yet vibrant pink colour.

This well-loved gem is known for its calming & beautiful, loving energy. Rose Quartz holds a gentle yet powerful vibration that enhances love within relationships, friendships, & within oneself. It shines a light on your best qualities, allowing you to see how wonderful you are. This stone both heals & opens the Heart Chakra, allowing you to mend emotional wounds from the past while also opening yourself up to new love. It encourages you to forgive & move on, filled with compassion & happiness. It grows your self-confidence, self-esteem & self-love.

Carry one with you to attract love. Hold one in your hand for a few minutes when you feel angry, stressed or upset. Rose Quartz is the perfect companion to keep near when reciting affirmations or indulging in a relaxing, self-care routine.
