Rose quartz – Uses and healing properties of rose quartz

Rose quartz is a very attractive stone that is widely used by those interested in crystal healing. This article discusses its uses and properties in more detail.

What is rose quartz?

Rose quartz is a variant of quartz with a distinctive pink color. Quartz itself (silicon dioxide) is the second most common mineral in the earth’s crust (after feldspar) and can take on different colors if other substances are present. In this case, the presence of manganese, iron or titanium may be what gives rise to its characteristic pink hue, which can range from a very pale pastel pink to a much deeper color. However, the mechanism responsible for the pink color is not fully understood and may have different causes in different rose quartz formations.

Rose quartz is normally translucent, although transparent specimens are sometimes found. It is sometimes referred to as the “love stone” in the crystal lore.

As a very popular and commonly available crystal, rose quartz can be purchased in clusters, points, spheres, wands, pendulums, and other popular crystal shapes.
