Rose quartz: properties of the stone and who it suits according to their Zodiac Sign

Rose quartz is a stone that brings love and inspiration.
Its magical properties were discovered by the most ancient of civilizations. From century to century, the mysterious gem has accompanied humanity, acting either as an ordinary decoration or as an amulet.

Rose quartz is still popular today. Jewelry for women and men and interior items are made from it. Who is the mineral suitable for and how to wear it correctly? We will share with you all the secrets that we know.

History of the mineral

Some minerals were discovered literally hundreds of years ago, but rose quartz has a much older history. Archaeologists have found quartz jewelry that is over 9,000 years old. The find was discovered in the territory of former Mesopotamia.

The pink gem was worn for beauty, turned into a talisman for good luck or a love amulet, and medicinal tinctures were made from it.

Residents of the East, having learned about the property of the stone to influence Anahata (heart chakra), called this type of quartz “heart stone”. But the ancient Romans turned the mineral into a cosmetic product. Powder was crushed from it or water was infused on stones with which to wash. In this way, women tried to prolong their youth.

There is a sad legend associated with the gem:

One of them says that the son of the Cypriot king Adonis fell in love with the goddess Aphrodite. She, being the beloved of the god of war Ares, reciprocated the young man. Having learned about the betrayal, God turned into a wild boar and tore his lover to pieces in front of his beloved. While making her way through the murder site fenced off by Ares, she injured herself. The blood of the goddess and the blood of the murdered man mixed during the posthumous embrace - and this is how the mineral was formed.

The name “quartz” means “solid” in German. You can make jewelry from stone without fear that it will crumble. By the way, the gem is related to rock crystal. On our website there is an article about this magic crystal. In it we told why crystal is called “frozen ice” and why it is used in magic.

Where is rose quartz mined?

The rose quartz mineral is mined in many countries. But at the same time, the gem is considered rare, because most of the existing deposits have already been depleted.

Every year the stone becomes even more rare and expensive.

Mining locations:

• Japan;
• USA;
• Switzerland;
• Germany;
• Austria;
• France;
• India;
• Brazil.

Among all the deposits, the deposits in Madagascar stand out. Almost all stones supplied to the market from those regions are distinguished by their beauty and large size.

There are reserves of this amazing gem in Russia. They are located in Karelia and Altai.

Sagittarius Characteristics

Amulet stone for the sign of Sagittarius.
This is the 9th sign of the zodiac, which belongs to the element of fire. Those born from November 23 to December 22 are under his protection. These people are active, open, friendly, and love to travel.

At the same time, they are distinguished by straightforwardness and a heightened sense of justice, which does not always contribute to good relationships with others. They are vain, love to be the center of attention, and depend on public opinion.

Women

The weaker sex is characterized by a strong display of emotions, honesty and openness. These girls are always cheerful, optimistic, cheerful, and easy and pleasant to communicate with. Interesting interlocutors, courageous in decisions and actions.

Men

According to the horoscope, Sagittarians of the stronger sex are distinguished by their love of freedom; it is difficult to force them to do anything against their principles.

They are straightforward, speak the truth face-to-face, quickly get carried away by a new task, but do not always follow it through to the end.

They know how to be true friends, value sincerity and loyalty. Special traits: purposefulness, assertiveness, ambition.

Physical and chemical properties

In nature it is impossible to find two identical stones. They have different sizes, different shades and patterns.

The properties of rose quartz remain the same:

• formula – SiO2;
• hardness – 7 points;
• fracture – conchoidal;
• density – 2.65 g/cm³;
• shine – glass;
• transparency – translucent;
• colors – white, pink;
• syngony – trigonal;
• cleavage is not observed.

Some specimens have an unusual effect - a star is visible on their surface. Gems, oh, sell more expensive than others.

Color palette and varieties

The appearance of quartz depends on additional impurities and their concentration. They are the ones who influence how the stone will look.

What types of rose quartz are found in nature:

• Translucent. Translucent specimens are less common than other species.
• Star Gem. The unusual effect that appears on the surface of the crystal is called the asterism effect. Visually, it resembles a star glowing with white light (with four or six rays).

Quartz is called pink, but in natural conditions you can find samples of this species in other shades. There are also white-pink, lavender and even purple stones.

About women

The strong point of Sagittarius women is their attractiveness. However, don't be fooled. Behind the external softness and charm lies a steely character, many of whose features are more likely to be characteristic of a man. Activity, courage, amazing assertiveness, perseverance, and the ability to insist on her own help her achieve any goals. She will not be the first to enter into conflict, but she will firmly defend her opinion, without softening her words or being shy in definitions. And for the sake of freedom, she can easily abandon her family - so next to her there can only be a person who will respect her and will not try to “lock” her within four walls. In order not to unknowingly give a harmful gift to yourself or a loved one, it is better to find out which stones will become a talisman for Sagittarius women, and which ones will cause harm.

How to check a stone for authenticity

You can almost always find rose quartz beads or bracelets on bazaar stalls. That’s why most jewelry lovers are sure that this is a cheap, accessible mineral. But no matter how it is. Rose quartz is an infrequent guest on the jewelry market. A real crystal costs a lot and is sold only in elite stores.

Before purchasing, be sure to inspect the product:

• Study the structure of the gem. Yes, cutting makes it more beautiful. But after this procedure it should not seem too correct, too ideal.
• Try heating the stone. A fake crystal, unlike a real crystal, will quickly take away the heat from your palms.
• Some areas are more transparent and richer in color than others - this is the norm for a natural mineral. The pink shade should not seem too bright.

Now you know what rose quartz looks like. We hope that our recommendations will help you navigate the purchase process.

In addition to this, here's another tip for you - don't let the seller talk you into it. Having gained trust with funny jokes or stories from life, it is easy to force a person to buy another product or slip him a defective item.

Only a specialist can distinguish an original from a fake with complete confidence. Are you planning to buy a whole set of rose quartz? Then it is better to go to the store accompanied by a jeweler.

Application and proper care

The rarity and beauty of rose quartz attracts people of creative professions to it. Couturiers, jewelers, interior designers - they all use gemstones to realize their ideas. They are united by one desire - to create something beautiful. Classifying rose quartz as a rare mineral makes it more valuable.

The most beautiful gem samples from the jeweler’s table are sent straight to closed private collections.

Rose quartz jewelry requires care. The rules of care are not complicated. They just need to be remembered and regularly put into practice:

• The mineral is temperature sensitive. In the light of the sun's rays it looks more beautiful than ever. But if you often wear the stone in the heat, it will fade.
• Like most natural minerals, it can become damaged if dropped. Do not take jewelry with wet hands, do not leave it on a smooth surface, on the edge of a table.
• Give the pebble salt baths or bathe it in running water. Even if you do not wear rose quartz for treatment, this procedure will not be unnecessary. Energy cleansing will remove from the amulet all the bad things that it managed to take from strangers.

When buying beads or a bracelet, choose a piece of jewelry so that the stones do not touch each other. Between them there must be a “barrier” of a plastic or metal bead or thick thread. By contacting, gems can damage each other.

Compatibility with Zodiac signs

It is important to consider the compatibility of rose quartz with the zodiac sign of its owner, so that the magic and healing power of the mineral are fully revealed. The advantage of this gem is that absolutely everyone can wear it. The stone is ideal for Taurus, Libra, and Pisces. The talisman protects them from any negativity, helps them find and keep love, find happiness, and attracts good luck. The mineral makes Taurus wiser and more reasonable, and brings Pisces success and helps them plan their affairs.

Rose quartz also has a positive effect on representatives of other signs:

• For Aries, the gem helps channel stubbornness into a peaceful direction, become more persistent, and strive for perfection;
• For Gemini, the mineral gives success in love and profession, attracts good luck, develops intuition;
• Cancers with such a gem become more balanced, their body and their whole life suffers less from stress;
• Rose quartz brings prosperity to Leos and relieves them of worries;
• For Virgos, the stone gives energy boost and attracts good luck;
• The mineral helps Scorpios achieve their goals; for this it is recommended to wear a pendant or ring;

Important information

The mineral is most compatible with people born on the first lunar day. The zodiac sign does not matter.

When buying a stone or jewelry with it, it is important to study the shape and color and hold the product in your hands. If negative feelings arise, then you should refrain from purchasing.

With other stones

When purchasing jewelry with different stones, it is important to know that some of them may not be compatible in properties and energy, neutralizing each other or affecting a person negatively. Rose quartz suits all zodiac signs, but other crystals should suit the element of the owner of the jewelry. It is not recommended to combine elements of opposite elements in one product.

Rose quartz goes well with the following stones:

• amethyst;

• blue turquoise;
• pearl;
• lapis lazuli;
• sapphire.

Neutral energy is obtained by combining rose quartz with obsidian or amber. It is not recommended to combine the gem with the following stones:

• agate;
• pomegranate;
• malachite;
• ruby;
• jasper.

The magical power of rose quartz

In the magical community, the crystal was unanimously recognized as a good talisman. And not just good, but very strong. The power of the stone as a magical attribute will only increase if you receive it as a gift and not buy it.

The crystal can be donated by a friend or inherited by a relative. Having received positive energy in the form of the wishes of the giver, it becomes more powerful and bestows even more grace on its owner.

The purchased amulet will be weaker in terms of capabilities, but this can be corrected with the help of various magical rituals. What is the power of this gem?

Only natural minerals have power.

Magical properties of rose quartz:

• protection from the evil eye, damage, any bad wishes, including unconscious ones;
• strengthening of intuition (can lead to the appearance of a prophetic gift);
• resumption of work of previously “clogged”, blocked chakras;
• cleaning the aura from black spots - one’s own negative thoughts that have taken shape, or invisible creatures attached to the biofield for parasitism;
• help with meditation – creates the right mood, helps you relax, connects to the cosmos;

Light, delicate shades are typical for women's wardrobe. Most women's closets are full of colorful clothes, and their boxes are full of bright and shiny jewelry. Apparently, this is why rose quartz is considered a feminine gem.

But men can wear it too. True, it is not suitable for everyone. Experts recommend crystal to those who make a living through creativity. Or wants to turn his hobby into a job.

The crystal helps you develop on your chosen path, brings inspiration, charges you with ideas - just have time to implement them.

Using the gemstone too often can result in rose-colored glasses appearing on your nose. A little daydreaming never hurt anyone, but there needs to be a balance in everything. The world is cruel and it will be very difficult for someone who constantly has their head in the clouds to survive in it.

The healing properties of the gem

For many people, the color pink does not evoke very different associations. For example, glamor and show business. However, a pink gem can serve not only as decoration, but also as an assistant in improving health.

Benefit for health:

There is another way to use a crystal that helps prolong youth. You need to leave the pebble in the water overnight, and then wash your face with water from under it every morning. Try it and see for yourself how your complexion will improve and your skin will begin to glow.

But for many centuries, humanity has known its powerful power - the power of love, kindness, healing. Such a mineral cannot go unnoticed. Inner faith and strength from the depths of the planet can work miracles.

Rose quartz – stone of love

Ask what color is associated with love and most of those surveyed will certainly name red. This color is actively used in love magic. Witches advise using red objects to make love amulets. Even psychologists recommend adding scarlet to the bedroom interior to enhance passion between spouses or kindle a flame where there is none.

If red symbolizes passion, a storm of emotions and a thirst for possession, then pink in the language of flowers means tenderness, affection, romance.

Does this mean that quartz of this shade can be used to attract love? Yes! In this way, the crystal has been used for a very long time.

Pink quartz is a talisman for attracting love.

In ancient times, people wore pendants made from this gem. Women bought jewelry from it for themselves in order to meet the same one, and lovers exchanged paired pendants, believing that such an amulet would protect their relationship from witchcraft.

Rose quartz is a special crystal. You need to know how to wear it correctly, otherwise no changes will happen on the love front. Try to follow these guidelines:

• Do not hide the talisman from others, wear it without hesitation. But don't brag. Be open to the world and the amulet will definitely bring you happiness.
• It is better to buy a product framed in silver. This is the most magical metal of all. It interacts well with quartz, increasing its potential. Gold, on the contrary, weakens it.
• To meet your soulmate, you can buy paired rings. One to wear yourself, the other to put aside for a mysterious stranger. Rest assured, the Universe will respond to the call of your heart and the second ring will definitely find an owner.
• For people who have experienced a difficult breakup, it is better to choose a necklace – long beads or a pendant. Being near the heart chakra, the stone will help get rid of worries, heal wounds and return joy to life.

For those who want to speed up the meeting with their betrothed, there is another way to achieve what they want - creating an amulet, over which a conspiracy is then read. To do this you will need special spices and several pink gems. Read more about how to make a love talisman in our article - Love amulets and symbols for attracting marriage.
