Rose Quartz Massage Wand - 60mm

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. Although Rose Quartz is usually too cloudy to be used as a cut gemstone, a few exceptional pieces are found with enough clarity and color to make fine gems. Most gemmy Rose Quartz is used as cabochons where the clarity is not as important as the color.

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. It is one of the most important stones to wear and be around, as its power is matched only by its humility. It turns the heart toward love and bathes body, mind and spirit in that healing and enlightening frequency. It carries the loving consciousness of the Christ and other heart-centered spiritual masters. As we evolve into a new paradigm, our energetic center is moving from a point below the navel to the heart chakra. As this shift takes place, it is highly important to clear and strengthen this chakra. The heart chakra is the strongest generator of Light energy in the body – even stronger than the brain. The energy of Rose Quartz helps the bud of the heart unfold into a thousand-petaled lotus of Light.

These stones provide an envelope of love energy around oneself and activate the heart chakra for the emanation of one’s innate love. When one is truly experiencing love, one is not thinking about giving and receiving, because the lover and the beloved have become one. Rose Quartz helps dissolve one’s boundaries of isolation and mistrust and moves one into the sense of union with the All that is the essence at the core of the heart.

Healing the heart of its wounds and reawakening its trust is one of Rose Quartz’s gifts. Its soothing vibrations are a balm to the emotions, and they calm and cleanse the entire auric field. It engenders the release of tension and stress, the dissolution of anger and resentment, the dispelling of fear and suspicion, and the rebirth of hope and faith in the benevolence of the Universe. Rose Quartz is clearly feminine in tone, and it is one of the stones of the Great Mother. It not only activates the human heart chakra – it also links one’s personal heart to the heart of the Earth and the Heart of the Universe. Its love vibrations can penetrate down to the cellular level, reprogramming the cells for joy and longevity rather than despair and death. This reprogramming capacity is the source of the healing potential of Rose Quartz. Rose Quartz can bring the crown, third eye, and throat chakras into harmony and unity with the heart. Even the lower chakras respond favorably to the abundance of love energy which flows from the heart under the influence of Rose Quartz.

When one gifts someone, even a stranger, with a Rose Quartz, there is an unspoken appreciation that reverberates through the Universe, as one more boundary is softened or dissolved.

Note: Rose Quartz is a high-vibration stone.
