Rose Quartz is a pink stone that varies from clear to opaque, dark pink to light pink. It is normally found in massives or tumbled form but can be available as small crystals.
Rose Quartz has a strong affinity to the Heart Chakra. Holding Rose Quartz is like being wrapped in a soft, warm, secure blanket of cotton wool. It encourages you to relax and become peaceful as well as helping to remove the pain of grief and loss. This beautiful crystal also encourages people to live life and to bring their innermost dreams into reality in a way that is that only occurs when it is fostered and nurtured by love and care. It also reminds us that there is a place in eveyone’s life for love and happiness, joy and laughter and that good is a good and positive thing, even if at times it is painful.
Rose Quartz is important in helping people to love and cherish themselves and in doing so opening themselves to love and cherish others. It helps us to accept and give love freely without fear.
In crystal healing it is very useful for single stone layouts as it brings the feeling of love and care to all of the chakras. Due to the nurturing and supportive feelings generated by the stone it will produce pleasant feelings in a person when placed around them in a grid.
