Thin Romance Rose Quartz Crystal Wand

What it is

Thin Romance Rose Quartz Crystal Wand is a hand-finished rose quartz piece of about 28.5 x 2.4 x 2.4cm, shaped to show off the stone's colour and pattern.

Love candles are usually pink or red and are traditionally lit on a Friday, the day of Venus. Many people use a love candle for self-love as much as romance: a few quiet minutes of appreciation while it burns. Rose petals and rose quartz are the traditional companions of a love candle.

Rose has been the scent of love since antiquity; in Sufi and Christian devotion it is linked with the divine and with the Virgin Mary. The fragrance is soft, floral and sweet.

From the maker: Attract love and deepen relationships with this romance magic wand. Completed with a genuine rose quartz crystal point to promote compassion and self-love, the slender and lightweight design of the wand makes it easy to handle, allowing for precise energy work and intention setting.

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.

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.

Size: approximately 28.5 x 2.4 x 2.4cm, weighing about 86g. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings.

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. Hearts are traditional love tokens; trees symbolise growth and connection; planets and spheres evoke the cosmos. 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. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim.

How to use it

• For a love ritual: rose petals and rose quartz are the traditional companions of a love candle.
• Set it on a desk, bedside table or altar where you'll see it.
• Hold it during a few minutes of quiet reflection.
• It pairs traditionally with amethyst or green aventurine.
• Journalling idea: note the date you bought it and what drew you to it; collectors enjoy looking back on how a collection grew.
• Shelf idea: group stones by colour, from deep to pale, for a display that reads like a gradient.
• Meditation idea: rest it in an open palm and use its weight and temperature as a point of focus for five slow breaths.

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 regularly and keep away from hard surfaces that could chip it.

Who it suits

Best for Valentine's Day, an anniversary or a self-care evening.
