The history of Rose Quartz dates back to 7000 BC in Mesopotamia, where it was used in both decorative and ritualistic ways. The Assyrians and Romans crafted it into jewelry and amulets, valuing it for both its beauty and believed healing properties. The Egyptians also prized Rose Quartz, considering it to have magical powers that could enhance youthfulness and beauty. It was often used in skincare rituals, as well as in the creation of amulets. In Greek mythology, Rose Quartz was associated with Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and it was said to be a gift from the goddess herself to mortals as a symbol of unconditional love and beauty.
 
In the Middle Ages, Rose Quartz continued to be regarded as a stone of great emotional power. It was believed to balance emotions and heal anger, helping individuals to foster peace and emotional clarity. Among Native American cultures, Rose Quartz was often used in sacred ceremonies, valued for its ability to bring harmony and to open the heart to deeper compassion and love.
 
Known as the "love stone," Rose Quartz has remained a popular stone for those seeking to nurture emotional growth. Today, many people still believe that this gentle pink crystal promotes inner peace, comforts emotional wounds, and attracts love in its many forms�be it romantic, familial, or self-love. It is often used in meditation to encourage self-care and to release negative emotions that block the heart from receiving love.
