Invite some positive vibes into your life
Rose quartz is renowned for its marvellous association with love. The delicate colour of its dusky pink surface is utterly feminine. Depending on whether the stone is faceted to create sparkle or tumbled into a cabochon pebble to complement its soft hues, this stone truly makes a beautiful piece of jewellery.
Rose quartz is part of the quartz family. The name derives from its delicate pink colour that can range from almost white to medium-dark. Rose quartz owes this colouring to microscopic inclusions of aligned silicate mineral fibres (for those of you who love a bit of science).
In the earliest possible times, people widely believed in the magical powers of quartz crystals. Potent talismans were crafted and worn by Ancient Romans, Egyptians and Greek civilizations, for various ailments both physical and mental. It is said that in the early cultures of the Americas, the ‘love stone’ was used for emotional afflictions of the heart, and was said to heal anger and disappointment.
Today, there is an abundance of rose quartz available. While many designers choose to use it in their jewellery creations, there are practitioners out there who still use rose quartz crystals for its healing properties, for instance; encouraging self-love, healing of the emotional body, easing heartache, relieving loneliness, releases repressed hearts, forgiveness and inner peace.
