The Noble Pagan Forums - Rose Quartz

Ah yes everyone's favorite pretty in pink stone. Or at least it's my favorite pink stone ( and I'm known for disliking that color heavily). So what do you use it for?

Rose Quartz is a gentle stone. The energy it emits is soft and subtle so you may not even notice its effects ( unless you are sensitive to stones in the quartz family). It can help to remove negativity from all chakras ( it is noted that it works best with the heart and crown chakra, both which deal with the concepts of love).

I've suggested it as a stone to wear if one is grieving, having a hard time wrestling with person issues, feelings of insecurity or self doubt and sadness as it is a stone that reinstates confidence through the reconition and acceptance of self love.

I've suggested it to people who by being in an abusive relationship, have a hard time accepting healthy love and what that is. Mind you if you are in such a situation the Rose Quartz will slowly in time help you understand what that healthy love is, however it will not change the behaviour of your partner nor will the Rose Quartz be an instant fix in any way on the mixed emotions you may already experience.

Rose Quartz can build confidence as it subtley reminds the wearer of the right to be accepted and loved as is. It can filter away negative energy ( thoughts and emotions etc) that is aimed at the wearer, however if the wearer chooses to continue to expose themselves constantly to negative people or situations, there is little that the Rose Quartz will be able to do in the long run.

In order for a stone to work for you, you must be willing to work with it.

Yes I know. Take a shot everytime I say love. However that is mainly what Rose Quartz is known for. A "love stone" so to speak. Not just how you may percieve love, but what that type of positive energy truly is without labels ( and see this is why it can be used to help dispell negativity from your chakras).

People have also been known to charge this stone to attract more positive people in their lives (friends and even lovers to be).

So how do you use it?
There are many ways really. You can purchase a a piece ( they are not too expensive) and wear it about yourself on a necklace ( this is a great way to let it help you if you are dealing with emotional sadness or a lack of confidence as worn on a long chain it can be nestled fairly close to your heart).
You can purchase a piece and charge it with the job for storing loving, healing energy so that when you need that boost you can pick up your stone and hold it or meditate on it for awhile.
Not into wearing jewelry (pink not your color)? You could always carry it around in your pocket ( or what I do from time to time is make a lil bag and tie it onto my pants with the stones i am using in it).
Again this is not a fast acting power stone, so you will want to work with it ( wear it) consistantly for it to work with you. Holding it 15 minutes one day a week is probably not going to do a whole heck of a lot ( again unless you are sensitive to it that is).

Any time you are working with a stone and you feel "off" ( mentally slow, headachey, nauseous, flu-like, etc) then it's a sign that you and that stone are not meant for each other and it's time to go searching for another type of stone that has similar qualities to the ones you are looking for. At least based off of my experiences with working with stones that is how it has worked.

Okay I think I blathered on long enough about the Quartz of Rosiness.

If anyone has anything to add to this wonderful stone ( or any questions) feel free to add to this thread.

Thanks!

C.S.

Many a time have I been told this stone suits me well. My friend's daughter has a Rose quartz Pendulum that I attract like crazy according to Nissa. Up until recently have I not gotten the 'friendly' feeling from the stone.

Hey Spider -

not much to add there really. It's simply "THE Love-Stone" for most people - you're absolutely right.

The one thing I'd certainly add is a phenomena that all of us in front of the PC certainly know: electric smog.
A rose quartz will do the job!

Best for that is a one-piece stone without anything done to it. Simply put it somewhere close your workplace or even next / onto the PC and it will clear things out.

Certainly also helpful if you share an office with people you don't necessarily get along with well. Give it a try

Clear it in cold water or pieces of hematite - upload in moonlight or hematite-pieces.

All I have to add here..

Love,
moondancer

I have a Rose-Quartz Worry stone ^^

Its helped alot. I love the stone because even if it is my least favorite color, its just the right tone. Not too pink, but its not peach either (And I oath the color peach. looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooath.)

Just seems calming and very relaxing.

That's all I can think of
