Zodiac stone: Taurus & Scorpio
Though Rose Quartz is thought to be the stone of love, it is not just romantic love that this crystal embodies. This quartz facilitates love entering your life. It helps you to forgive, understand and see situations from a different perspective. Rose Quartz healing properties will imbue you with the wisdom to deepen your connection with your partner. Rose Quartz also provides greater support for the psyche, and allows to let go of lost love and protects from fear of renewed disappointments. A powerful stone of unconditional love, infinite peace, compassion and joy, Rose Quartz gently removes negative energy and replaces it with loving vibrations. It teaches you to love yourself and encourages self-forgiveness and acceptance.
Greek and Roman myths were the first to attach the symbol of love to the Rose Quartz. According to the myth, Cupid, the God of Desire and Love, bestowed the gift of love to humans in the form of a Rose Quartz. Another myth tells that the stone received its color from the blood of Aphrodite spilt in trying to save her dying lover Adonis. Both of the lovers bled over the stone, and its lasting stain meant to represent eternal love.
Rose Quartz' affirmation is: I open my heart to give and receive love.
