I am currently getting ready to open shop. I am busy making stone cards and just trying to get organized. In each of the packages, I wish to include a description card. I figured I could also write an informative entry as well instead of recreating an entry about Rose Quartz later. I am so tired and it is only 9:30p, so, this will be short and sweet :)
Rose Quartz is the quintessential stone of love -- love for oneself, one's life partner, children, family, friends, community, the Earth, the Universe and the Divine. Meditating with this stone activates the heart chakra & helps dissolve boundaries of isolation and mistrust, moving one into the sense of union with the ALL that is the essence at the center of the Heart. It is a Gentle, Calming & Stabilizing stone.
Rose Quartz is a tough, durable stone, but still soft and gentle. Thus, Rose Quartz understands armoring & helps us to recognize our rigidity and stubbornness — it helps us open our hearts to be softer and gentler and still be strong on the outside.
Contrary to popular belief and trend, Rose Quartz is generally best applied topically or held in the hand than used as an elixir; however, if one is to consume a Rose Quartz elixir, it would be best consumed before the meal to increase metabolism.
Rose Quartz has many, many medicinal uses: regulates BP, racing heart following exertion, circulation, cold extremities, palpitations, insomnia. Used for infertility, excessive estrogen levels. Emotional uses include: soothing sadness & grief, and anchoring to the kidneys to manage fear.
This stone is perfect as a gift to someone who has “reached” their mark, perhaps in weight loss or quitting smoking — it helps people come to terms with who they are now, to claim their new self.
