About
Rose quartz is a pink variety of quartz known for its soft, rosy hue, which ranges from pale pink to deep pink. The colour is due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese. Rose quartz is often found in massive form rather than crystals, making it a popular choice for carving and crafting into jewellery and ornaments.
Crystal Healing Energy
Rose Quartz is all about love and emotional healing, making it the ultimate heart-soother. It works wonders with the heart chakra, inviting love, compassion, and forgiveness into your life. Its gentle, nurturing energy is like a warm hug, helping to heal emotional wounds, ease stress, and open your heart to self-love and acceptance.
