Rose Quartz Properties
what are the special properties of rose quartz?
It depends on whether you are asking scientifically or in a new age fashion.
Rose quartz is one of the most desirable varieties of quartz. The pink to rose red color is completely unique, unlike any other pink mineral species. The color is caused by iron and titanium impurities. It is usually found as a mound rather than a crystal but in a few places crystals have been found. Most of the rose quartz currently mined is from Brazil. Rose quartz is a type of quartz which exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue. The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the massive material. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light. Recent X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the color is due to thin microscopic fibers of possibly dumortierite within the massive quartz.[10]
In crystal form (rarely found) it is called pink quartz and its color is thought to be caused by trace amounts of phosphate or aluminium. The color in crystals is apparently photosensitive and subject to fading. The first crystals were found in a pegmatite found near Rumford, Maine, USA, but most crystals on the market come from Minas Gerais, Brazil.[11]
Rose quartz is not popular as a gem – it is generally too clouded by impurities to be suitable for that purpose. Rose quartz is more often carved into figures such as people or hearts. Hearts are commonly found because rose quartz is pink and an affordable mineral.

Rose Quartz Crystals and Gemstones – Cleanse and Re-Charge Your Crystals and Gemstones
Crystals and Gemstones an Introduction
Crystals and gemstones correspond and resonate with specific color frequencies, tones, and rays of light; increasing or amplifying a particular energy vibration. Rose quartz resonates with pink or rose light, enhancing love, emotional healing, seeing through eyes of love. Lapis resonates with deep blue light, clearing channels of communication with others or the ethereal Realm of Spirit; encouraging truth and integrity.
There are several ways crystals and gemstones can be cleansed and charged or energized by being placed in Sun light; in Moon light; rinsing them with cool running water; placing them in sea salt; burying crystals in the ground for 24 to 48 hours placing crystals with points facing upward toward the sky; pass crystals over and through incense or the flame of a white candle; visualize white or violet light in and around the crystals; place smaller crystals or stones on larger clusters of clear quartz or amethyst quartz for 24 to 48 hours, be sure to cleanse the cluster and re-charge or energize the crystal cluster in the sun or moon light.
Before cleansing and re-charging your crystals and gemstones, consider rinsing each crystal or gemstone under cool running water. If you are near the ocean, a lake or a stream be sure to have a firm grip on your crystals or they might “jump” out of your fingers into the water!
The intensity of the Sun’s rays cleanses crystals and gemstones within just a few hours. Placing crystals and gemstones in the Moon light, especially during a full Moon, removes all lower negative or dirty energies with a soft, yet very powerful energy.
Should you choose to cleanse your crystals or gemstones using sea salt, be advised sea salt may remove more than stored negative energy; the sea salt may also alter a crystals subtle, inner vibration, causing an unwanted frequency re-alignment.
Earth Mother’s healing energy regenerates crystals by re-cycling or transmuting negative energy, restoring your crystals unique vibrational frequency.
Larger Clear quartz or Amethyst quartz clusters have the ability to cleanse and restore balance to smaller crystals and gemstones by absorbing negative energy. I personally place my crystal pendants on larger crystal clusters re-charging them overnight. My clusters are re-charged by the Sun each day and by moonlight each night as it streams in through the windows.
Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz usually referred to as the “love crystal” is part of the Quartz family of crystals and gemstones. When tumbled, Rose Quartz ranges from very soft pink to a deeper pink. In its natural form, it appears to sparkle and can be somewhat translucent when held in Sun light. There are often veins or striations of lighter Rose Quartz which appear almost white.
When held, it is possible to begin experiencing a sense of harmony within your Heart Chakra, located in the center of your chest. The soft, subtle energy of Rose Quartz soothes emotions, enabling emotional wounds to heal more easily.
Rose Quartz will enhance your meditation experience, calming you from within. Place Rose Quartz under your pillow or on your bedside table to assist in calming your thoughts. A piece of Rose Quartz placed directly on the Heart Chakra will gently draw out emotional hurt, allowing healing to begin.
It is possible to release emotional sorrow and pain through forgiveness. Love is soft, gentle, and nurturing allowing you to heal at your own pace. As the soft vibration of Rose Quartz resonates with your Heart Center, it begins to lovingly re-create sacred space within, re-connecting you with Divine Source Energy. In healing, you will be able to give and receive love first, to you. As you continue to heal, a vacuum will be created where pain and sorrow were once experienced, giving way to an increased level of self-love, enabling you to give and receive love, if you so choose.
As soft, nurturing Rose Quartz energy begins to circulate throughout your entire Be-ing, a sense of inner peace and harmony enhances comfort and healing at the Soul level. Healing when sought with an open heart, releasing all that has come before, clears the path to new adventures, new experiences with a renewed sense of self-confidence.
Are you willing to release pain and sorrow, resentment real or perceived, forgiving you and anyone else involved? To forgive is to release you from self-imprisonment. Forgiveness is releasing you from reliving, re-playing that which caused you pain and suffering. The intention of forgiveness does not require you to place yourself in the same path or in similar circumstances.
Remember to cleanse and re-charge your crystals often, especially if you are working with your crystals during meditation and healing work. The Blog on Crystals and Gemstones – An Introduction, has information about cleansing and re-charging your crystals.
