Known as the stone of gentle love, rose quartz brings peacefulness and calm to relationships. It has a calming and cooling energy which can work on all the chakras to remove negativity and to reinstate the loving and gentle forces of self love. Rose quartz brings calmness and clarity to emotions and restores the mind to harmony especially after a chaotic or crisis situation. Rose quartz is quite effective in the treatment of conditions relating to the emotional body and balancing the love and emotions of the upper four chakras - heart, throat, brow and crown. It can act as a rejuvenating agent for both the physical and emotional, and is an energy for healing emotional wounds.

Rose quartz can range in colour from soft pink to golden white and is one of the sabbat gemstones for Beltane. The astrological signs for rose quartz are Taurus and Libra. It is also associated with the planet Venus and the element water.

Rose quartz is photosensitive and should not be stored in direct sunlight or it can become faded.
