What is a Rose Quartz Crystal?
Essentially, it is a pale pink crystal from the quartz mineral family. It is highly associated with love and positive energy as well as believed to be useful for beauty and aesthetic chakras.
The ancient Egyptians as well as Roman women use it for beautification purposes, to clear their complexions and remove facial lines –well, just like how we use face masks nowadays. The Egyptians use rose quartz in powdered form to help with wrinkles. In the afterlife, they believe that providing the dead with rose quartz facemasks will make them look gorgeous even after death. Can we ever top that?
Self healing and love…
For those who are lacking in self esteem, or are being beaten up by life, the rose quartz crystal may help you channel positive energies and emotions. This crystal has always been believed to be a good tool in boosting self confidence. It is also considered to have healing properties related to the heart chakra so it is closely associated with romance and love. Self healing comes with self love first and foremost, so the rose quartz can also come in handy if you are experiencing lows and depression. It helps heal emotional heartaches since it promotes receiving and giving of love.
Rose quartz as an accessory…
To get more out of this crystal, it is advised to wear it close to your heart. What better way to harness this energy, than to wear it as a pendant on your necklace. Keeping it in your pocket, or under your pillow when you sleep works too.
For beautification purposes, there are rose quartz face rollers you can use after your nightly routine to massage and erase wrinkles.
Harnessing its power and making it work for you…
Let’s be clear about one thing, crystals are not scientifically proven for healing. It is only used to channel the energies believed it possesses to benefit the believer/user. Please take note of the word “believed”. The so called “placebo effect” or the belief of the user fuels the so called power of these crystals. So in effect, if you don’t have faith in them, it won’t work for you.
For me, the powers of our mind are what charges the crystal. But they exist as a manifestation of what we believe they can do for us. In my opinion — so this is all me okay — since the ancient times, they have studied based on their experiences which particular energy or chakra each crystal has the most power in channeling. So in the case of the Rose Quartz, it is a good crystal for channeling love and positive energies as well as properties believed to enhance beauty.
