Rose quartz is a variety of quartz that is known for a pink color. The color made be pale or very dark, almost a red or magenta color.
Rose quartz has a very subtle energy to them. Like roses, they are very calming and soothing. Ancient peoples, such as the Romans, Egyptians, and Ancient Chinese used rose quartz and rose quartz water in many of their beauty practices, such as baths, facial washes, and jewelry.
Especially powerful is rose quartz’s ability to increase self-acceptance and self-esteem. This stone also helps increase physical health and is specially recommended for self-esteem, weight issues, and the reduction of wrinkles.
I’ve prescribed this stone quite a bit lately. Self-esteem and self-confidence are real issues in our society. This stone is especially effective worn on the left wrist or as a necklace worn as close to the heart chakra as possible. Wearing it on your left wrist will allow it to effect the energy you pull in to yourself. The heart chakra is also our center for giving, receiving, and being loved, so wearing the rose quartz here can be especially effective.
Rose quartz can also be used to help ease mental and emotional wounds, grief, and a sense of guilt and promote forgiveness.
Physically, rose quartz helps the circulatory system, the cardiac system, and increases fertility. It was often worn to promote pregnancy, protect both mother and child during pregnancy, and ease the pain of child-birth.
Sharing rose quartz with your children can increase the flow of love and attachment and create and more open and loving communication.
