Given its name, it should be no surprise that rose quartz is renowned for its beautiful pink color, which ranges from gentle, blush-colored hues to more vivid shades of pink. The coloring of rose quartz is the result of a small amount of the element titanium that makes up a part of the mineral’s composition. Another key characteristic of rose quartz is its luster, as Rose Quartz Beads usually have a shiny finish. Most rose quartz comes from Brazil, although it is also found in several African nations, India, and the United States.
The Stone of Love
We’re not just saying this because we adore rose quartz beads. Historically, rose quartz has been known as the stone of love and a symbol of romance and beauty. Greek myth alleges that rose quartz got its color when Aphrodite, the goddess of love, cut herself on a thorn as she saved Adonis from a violent attack. Their blood combined to turn a white quartz into a pink one. As a result, the Greeks and Romans considered rose quartz to be a gift between lovers.
The Spiritual Benefits of Rose Quartz
Rose quartz is said to improve all types of love, not just romantic. It’s often described as having heart-opening qualities that can help with family relationships, friendships, and even self-love. It can help raise your sense of self-esteem and self-worth, and even help you recall your dreams in more detail. Additionally, rose quartz is attributed with bringing a sense of peace and calm to its wearer. Who doesn’t need a little more of that in their life?
