What is Rose Quartz?
Rose quartz is the pink variety of quartz, colored by microscopic inclusions of dumortierite-related minerals. It has been associated with love since antiquity — legend says Aphrodite’s blood stained the stone — and remains the most gifted crystal in the world.
Practitioners use rose quartz to open and soothe the Heart chakra: nurturing self-compassion, softening grief, and inviting new romance. It is the crystal most often recommended for anyone healing from heartbreak.
The finest material comes from Madagascar, known for its soft translucence and even blush color.
