Rose quartz is a beautiful pink variety of quartz, with a colour that ranges from soft blush tones to deeper shades of pale pink. Its colour is thought to arise primarily from the stone’s fibrous internal structure, as well as possible traces of titanium, iron, manganese or rutile. Rose quartz typically forms in massive, non-crystalline structures without distinct crystal points, which sets it apart from many other quartz varieties. Its gentle appearance and even colouring make it a favourite among collectors and gem enthusiasts.
Symbolism
Rose quartz is associated with the symbolism of love, compassion and emotional harmony. It is considered a Heart Chakra stone, representing a gentle, accepting and positive attitude towards oneself and others. Rose quartz is believed to enhance empathy, deepen understanding within relationships and foster a calm emotional atmosphere.
The stone is also linked with emotional balance and the easing of inner tension. For these reasons, rose quartz is frequently used in meditation and other spiritual practices. In traditional astrology, rose quartz is associated with the sign of Taurus, where it is seen as a symbol of gentle, grounding love.
Note: Crystals and minerals are natural products, which means each piece is unique. Colours, shapes and clarity may vary. Natural light brings out their beauty best. Trust that the stones chosen through intuition will resonate with your personal purpose.
