Rose Quartz can be found in a range of pinks from a very gemmy, almost clear quartz with just a pink tinge, to a deep, solid pink. The colour is caused by titanium and iron, although in Greek myth it was believed to have been caused by Aphrodite and Adonis’s blood. It is mostly found in Brazil, Madagascar, India and the USA.

Rose Quartz can be soothing when working to overcome a trauma or when old patterns need to be gently released from your life. It is a stone of hope and can help to soothe your inner child. It encompasses all aspects of love from the individual level to the universal, helping you to work on your compassion for others, tolerance and forgiveness.

Rose Quartz is probably the most popular stone to give as a gift because of what it symbolises. Wearing Rose Quartz can help you to navigate life with more compassion for those around you and more forgiveness for yourself. It is a gentle reminder to stop beating yourself up for that thing you did five years ago. It encourages your soul to sing with the universal energy of love for all beings.
