Materials and size
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.
Rose quartz is rarely transparent; a cloudy, milky look is normal and a sign of natural material. It is a popular choice for a first crystal and for wedding, anniversary and Valentine's gifts.
Traditional uses
Carving stone into meaningful shapes is an ancient art, from Chinese jade to Egyptian scarabs. A shape adds its own symbolism to the stone. 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. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims.
How to use it
