Rose Quartz is a variety of macrocrystalline quartz distinguished by its delicate, translucent to opaque pink colour, which ranges from very pale pink to a deep rosy hue. The colour is believed to be caused by microscopic inclusions of a mineral related to dumortierite, and sometimes by irradiation. It is a common, durable, and affordable stone that often forms in large masses. It possesses a vitreous to waxy lustre, making it a highly popular choice for all forms of carved objects, spheres, and jewellery.
Rose Quartz is known as the "Stone of Unconditional Love and Infinite Peace." It is the most important crystal for the heart and the Heart Chakra, teaching the true essence of love in all its forms: romantic, familial, platonic, and, most importantly, self-love. It gently draws off negative energy and replaces it with loving vibrations, providing deep emotional healing, comfort, and calming. Rose Quartz encourages self-forgiveness, acceptance, and the release of unexpressed feelings and grief, restoring trust and harmony in relationships.

Place it in your home: Keep a piece in every room, especially the bedroom and shared living spaces, to promote an atmosphere of gentleness, harmony, and love.
Meditate with it: Hold the stone or place it directly on your Heart Chakra during meditation to initiate deep emotional cleansing and connect you to the feeling of universal, unconditional love.
Carry it: Keep a piece in your pocket or bag to draw on its constant, loving, and calming energy throughout the day, particularly when dealing with conflict or emotional stress.
Wear it: As jewellery (a pendant close to the heart is ideal) for continuous access to its nurturing, heart-opening, and peace-inducing vibration.
