Rose Quartz - The Love Crystal
We associate the colour pink with matters of the heart, love, friendships, forgiveness and compassion. Impurities such as aluminium, iron, titanium or manganese give rose quartz its pink colour. Rose quartz has the same transformational and amplifying qualities of clear quartz due to its silica content which has piezoelectric qualities. Rose quartz therefore, is very useful to transforms matters of the heart and amplify unconditional love.
You should first cleanse your rose quartz before use, you can do this in water, moonlight and sunshine and it is safe to add to drinking water too. Just make sure it is indeed a natural rose quartz as some can be irradiated for a deeper colour, which are not suitable for healing. If you are new to crystals we recommend you read our introductory post, titled ‘Vibrational Healing - Crystals’ which talks you through the basics and how to use crystals safely and appropriately.

Rose quartz strengthens resolve and self-love therefore you can use them to help you stick to your goals, such as in the kitchen if you are trying to change your eating habits or in the bathroom if you are encouraging self-love.
A final word, while rose quartz is generally not synthetically created as it is cheap and in abundance there are fakes on the market, such as irradiated versions (the irradiated will usually look much darker) and not suitable for healing. Halite, which is actually salt also looks similar but this will dissolve in water. If you are using rose quartz for healing or making gem water do be sure you have yourself a piece of rose quartz and buy from a reputable dealer.
