Meaning: Rose Quartz is said to be a powerful healing sacred mineral also known as the Stone of Love, or the Queen of Stones. The gentle and soothing energy it carries brings comfort to all forms of love - self-love, family relationships, friendships and romantic relationships. It helps to open up the heart, attracting acceptance, forgiveness and compassion, and reducing loneliness, stress and tension. 

Chakra: the heart and circulatory system

Ways to harness its energy: It is said that the healing powers of Rose Quartz can be felt most strongly by keeping it close to your heart, particularly during periods of reflection such as meditation and yoga. To strengthen your bond with a loved one, place it in a mutual space such as the bedroom or living space. At night, place it on your bedside table or hang it on your bed-head to experience peace and beautiful dreams. It is best cleaned with running river water and recharged in moonlight.
