Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, following feldspar. Rose Quartz is a variety of quartz that gets its name from its beautiful rose-pink hue. These crystals come in various shades of pink, each unique in its own way.

The ancient Greeks and Romans referred to rose quartz as pink quartz or hyaline quartz. The name "rose quartz" derives from the Greek word "hyalos," meaning glass. According to their mythology, Aphrodite’s blood stained white quartz when she pricked herself on a thorny bush while attempting to save her love, Adonis, from war. Out of compassion, Zeus brought Adonis back from the battlefield, symbolizing the rekindling or renewal of love. Both modern metaphysical practitioners and ancient cultures have long believed that rose quartz represents unconditional love.

Rose Quartz according to metaphysics: Often called the "love stone," Rose Quartz is believed to foster feelings of love, compassion, and understanding. It is thought to help heal relationships, encourage forgiveness, and support emotional healing. While it is commonly associated with romance, Rose Quartz is also known to boost self-esteem and self-worth, promoting self-love and self-acceptance. This empowers individuals to recognize their own beauty and value, which in turn nurtures greater confidence and self-assurance.
