Each crystal has a unique meaning, and the meaning of Rose Quartz is related to universal love. It is the stone of unconditional love, and not only romantic love.
The Rose Quartz stone is ideal for connecting with your feelings of self love, which is one of the most important things you can do to build positive energy in your life, build up your self confidence, and lead a more joyful life.
Properties of Rose Quartz
So, lets talk about the stone of universal love – Rose Quartz, also known as Hyaline Quartz. This perfect stone is full of loving vibes of all types.
One of the most powerful forms of love is self-love.
Whether you prefer raw rose quartz or tumbled rose quartz with a smoother outer appearance, this doesn’t make a difference. The tumbling process smooths out the stone but does not detract anything. Raw stones can be slightly more fragile, in general.
On a physical level, Rose Quartz is known to be good for the circulatory system with benefits for your health and physical heart, and on an emotional level this stone can have a positive impact on emotional wounds, as you connect with feelings of pure love, feelings of peace and self forgiveness.
This love stone is connected with a deep feminine energy, and it is a powerful tool to connect with some deep inner healing as you benefit from the positive energy and peace that this gemstone can bring.
Rose quartz can be found in Brazil, South Africa, and in the Black Hills of South Dakota in the United States.
The zodiac signs which can benefit even more from Rose Quartz stones, are Libra and Taurus
Rose Quartz Chakras
The beautiful soft pink color of rose quartz matches up with the pink hue of the heart chakra.
This crystal is said to be connected to both the heart and the throat chakra. (Find out more about crystals for the chakras here, if you want to understand more about the whole topic.)
Symptoms of a blockage of the heart chakra include depression, loneliness and finding it hard to feel empathy, while problems with the throat chakra can relate to feeling silenced, and can cause problems with communication and self esteem.
Use of the heart-healing stone, rose quartz can help get rid of negative energies and focus in on a feeling of self worth, self trust, and a deeper connection to self compassion and love.
By making this shift in energy, you will feel more aligned in all of these areas.

Use a Rose Quartz Facial Roller
Jade rollers have become very popular lately and are great for including in your skincare routine. However, rose quartz is also brilliant for use in facial rollers.
The difference between a rose quartz roller and a jade roller is that the rose quartz is a cooler stone, and will not warm with the body heat of your face.
Taking the time to focus your care on your face and skin is also a great time to build in some positive affirmations to your morning or night time routine.
Use Rose Quartz Water in your Beauty Routine
You can create your own natural homemade rose quartz gemstone essence, also known as Rose Quartz Water and use this in a spray bottle for your face – beauty routines.
Create the rose quartz water by immersing the rose quartz stone into water, and letting the energy from the stone mix into the water.
For rose quartz water, you may like to use homemade rose water rather than plain water. Rose water is an excellent toner with many beneficial properties for your skin.
Before adding the stone to the water spend some time holding it in your hands, setting your intentions and infusing it with your love.
You can also charge it in the moon light (best done at full moon) before adding your crystal to the water.
If you enjoy making home made beauty products, you may also want to try our recipe for rice water, or lavender sugar scrub.
You may also like to drink from a rose quartz infused water bottle.
Rose Quartz Love Bath
Set the mood for your self care bath time with a few drops of rose essential oil and rose petals added to the water and place rose quartz crystals nearby or in the water.
The ethereal scent and the delicate rose petals in the water will set a calming and loving atmosphere, and give you a beautiful atmosphere to relax.
Infuse your Sleep Space
The bedroom is an ideal place to display your rose quartz crystals, whether polished or raw rose quartz, this is a great way to enhance the loving energy of your sleeping area and create a sacred space.
