Transformer crystals, such as rose quartz enhance the power we have to change our situation for the better and act as compasses which guide the way to the life we most desire.

3. Rose Quartz, the stone of immortality

5. Rose Quartz, the stone of many names

This pink healing stone goes by many names, including the “love stone” and the “stone of universal love” among others. You may know it as “pink quartz” or “hyaline quartz” which is derived from the Greek word hyalos meaning “glass”.

6. Rose Quartz gets its color by the blood of the gods

Well, not really, its color comes from the absorbed minerals like manganese and titanium. However, Greek Mythology tells a different tale. The Goddess Aphrodite held so much love for the God Adonis that when he was attacked by Ares, the God of War, she rushed to his defense and cut herself on a briar bush. Their mingling blood dripped onto a quartz crystal and stained the stone pink, creating what we now call the ultimate crystal symbol of love.   

7. Rose Quartz as medicine 

Australian bush doctors often incorporate the use of this healing stone for their medicinal elixirs and healing practices. It may not heal leprosy, but it can offer a wide range of healing benefits like aiding the circulatory and respiratory system as well as healing the kidneys, adrenal glands, improving vision and releasing toxins from the body.
