A stone that over the centuries has always been present in the love rituals of countless civilizations. Rose Quartz is the stone of unconditional love and the amulet for anyone seeking a sincere feeling that corresponds to the best part of themselves. It is a stone that comes from far away, it is found in Australia and Madagascar.
Its pink color, which ranges from the most opaque to the most sparkling present in Australian gems, is still a mystery today and does not appear so illuminating in any other stone.
It is probably a balance between the traces of manganese and iron on its silicate base, which has no other counterpart in nature. Bearer of delicate feminine energy, compassion, peace, tenderness and acceptance.
It instills a peaceful self-esteem.
It speaks directly to the fourth Chakra, that of the heart. Remove emotional wounds, fears and resentments. It should therefore be kept close to the heart, but also under the pillow as it wards off negativity and the darkest dreams.
Stone of childhood and motherhood
Rose Quartz is a gemstone linked to motherhood, always considered a protection for pregnant women. Since ancient times it has been placed near the newborn.
She is splendid in accompanying the child in the first phase of transition between the physical and non-physical levels of experience. It defends its bond with the Harmony of the Origin and accompanies it by protecting the first steps in this complex world.
Precisely because linked to the mother it can be a comfort when one loses one’s own, keeping alive that unique bond that has protected our entire life. And not only…
It is the crystal of those who are in search of true love, of that romanticism that does not allow itself to be influenced if modern cynicism mocks it in its foolishness.
Stone of sweetness and sensuality, it also has an aphrodisiac power, stimulating the imaginative side of eros.
Gem of peaceful sleep, wards off nightmares and nocturnal fears. Guide children when the dark scares them.
In the workplace it distances us from the temptations of gossip, petty jealousies and anger when we don’t feel adequately recognised.
Rose Quartz has its twin stone
The ancient Greeks often kept Rose Quartz and Amethyst close to each other, given the powerful combination of the two gems. In fact, the quartz itself is charged by placing it near an amethyst gem and away from the light that affects its shine.
What rose quartz tells
Its beautiful soft pink tells us about the most important of the rights we are born with: that of being loved and having time and space to learn to love in return for free.
The love that emanates directly from Mother Earth and that vibrates in us even in the body, since birth. The whole journey of life lies in this simple ‘remembering’ of what constitutes us from the Origin. Its main element is water, and this gem speaks to us and calms us, like a long calm river that flows alongside us.
Its benefits
Rose Quartz helps fight tension and stress, reducing palpitations and accelerated beats, stabilizing our heart. It also supports breathing. It is especially helpful for the female reproductive system (it is the stone of motherhood, let’s remember this) and also assists with sexual difficulties, postpartum depression and can particularly comfort the mother after complicated births.
