The Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, taught in northern India around the 5th century BCE. Statues show him in mudras, hand gestures that each carry a meaning, such as touching the earth or turning the wheel of the teachings. Rose Quartz is a pink, usually translucent variety of quartz, typically soft pink. It measures 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural quartz; its pink colour comes from microscopic fibres of a dumortierite-like mineral. Greek myth links rose quartz with Aphrodite and Eros, which is where its reputation as a love stone begins. Rose quartz is rarely transparent; a cloudy, milky look is normal and a sign of natural material. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) In Buddhist and Hindu homes, statues are placed on a clean, raised shelf as a mark of respect, commonly facing the room or the entrance, with a candle, flowers or incense nearby. Outside those traditions, many people keep a Buddha figure as a symbol of calm and mindfulness. We describe this as cultural tradition; please display sacred figures respectfully, off the floor and out of bathrooms. Rose quartz is traditionally linked with love, friendship and self-kindness, which is why it is so often given as a gift between friends or partners. In modern crystal tradition rose quartz is linked with the heart chakra and with Taurus and Libra. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims. ## How to use - Set it at or above eye level on a shelf, mantel or altar. - Pair it with a tealight, a small plant or an incense holder for a simple meditation corner. - It pairs traditionally with amethyst or green aventurine. - Care idea: wipe tools after each ritual so wax, ash and water marks don't build up. - Reading idea: a cloth laid out before a tarot reading marks the start of a focused session. - Display idea: group tools by element or colour for a calm, intentional look. ## Care - Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; skip soaps, salt and long soaks. Its colour can soften in prolonged direct sunlight. - Dust with a soft, dry brush; skip harsh cleaners on painted finishes. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
