Rose quartz has accompanied humanity since antiquity: Greeks and Romans saw in it a token of love and beauty. Its pink hue comes from fine mineral inclusions, and no two stones are quite the same shade.

Using it day to day

Wear it over the heart, slip it under your pillow after a breakup, or hold it while you repeat a kind words you need to hear. What matters isn't the stone itself, but the attention it invites you to bring to yourself: a crystal is an intention you hold in your hand.

Cleansing & recharging

Cleanse it under running water for a few minutes or with smoke (sage, palo santo), then recharge it overnight under the full moon or on a quartz cluster.
