Rose Quartz emits a calming, cooling energy that can work on all of the chakras to gently remove negativity and to reinstate the loving, gentle forces of self-love. Its message is that there is no need for haste in any situation, and it brings calmness and clarity to the emotions. It also restores the mind to harmony after chaotic or crisis situations.

It promotes receptivity to the beauty of art, music, and the written word, enlivening imagination, and representing a young, warm love. Rose Quartz instills a permanence to one’s loving nature. Placing the crystal in one’s environment, using the energies in an elixir, and wearing and /or carrying the crystal all stimulate the true life force-LOVE.
Physical Uses: Rose Quartz is quite effective in the treatment of conditions relating to the emotional body, balancing the love emotions of the upper four chakras- heart, throat, brow, and crown chakras. It can act as a rejuvenating agent for both the physical body and the emotions. It is an excellent energy for healing emotional “wounds.” It can also be used to clear fluids in the cells of the body, promoting the release of impurities. Rose Quartz can also be used to enable the opening of the heart center, allowing for dissolution of stress and tension. It provides for help in the diminishment of disorders of the kidneys and adrenal glands, and can be used as an elixir to clear the skin, said to reduce wrinkles and provide the wearer with a soft complexion. Placed upon the heart chakra, it can diminish pain and can stimulate the proper functioning of the heart. Placed upon the area of the thymus, it has decreased coughs and soothed the bronchial and lung areas of the body. It has been used in the treatment of vertigo and to diminish burns, relieving and vanquishing blistering due to heat. Rose Quartz is advantageous for the heart and circulatory systems. It also is helpful to the cleansing organs. The reproductive organs may become healthier and more in tune with the positive energy we need for fulfilling expressions of love and tenderness. The physical expression of love increases as we become more positive and responsive to the needs of others. Rose Quartz is also said to help increase fertility. It makes an excellent gift for expressing love and will positively affect whomever it is given to. It is suggested for children because it helps to develop a nurturing and compassionate spirit. It is also recommended for artists, acupuncturists, lecturers, and those suffering from low self-esteem. If worn, it works well as a necklace and should rest over the heart.
