Rose Quartz crystal pendants


Pieces of Rose Quarts encased in silver wire. This crystal looks equally good suspended from a chain or some leather thonging for a more natural look. When working with this crystal, it seems to emanate a low heat, making it feel warm to the touch. I can almost feel its comforting properties flowing through my hands as I wrap the wire around it.

Rose Quartz is a calming and reassuring crystal, excellent for use in trauma or crisis, including the emotional upheaval of mid-life crisis. It strengthens empathy, sensitivity, and aids in the acceptance of necessary change. It is also an excellent stone for comforting grief.

Rose quartz is often called the "Love Stone." Its energetic hallmark is that of unconditional love that opens the heart chakra. This makes rose quartz a stone for every type of love: self-love, family, platonic, romantic, and unconditional. As a variety of quartz, rose quartz has high energy, and this strong energy can enhance love in virtually any situation. A large piece of unpolished Rose Quartz in the home provides on-going protection against intrusion and gossip.

Rose Quartz, a silicon dioxide crystal, is one of the most common varieties of the Quartz family. Its name is derived from its soft rose colour, which ranges from very pale pink to deep reddish-pink. It usually occurs in massive form, though it sometimes grows in clusters of small prismatic crystals. It varies in clarity from opaque to translucent to a foggy transparency.
