Rose Quartz is said to be a powerful crystal that includes a multitude of benefits and should be treated as such. The first thing you need to do before using the stone is to cleanse it of all negative energy. The easiest way to do so is by smudging it with the smoke from sage. There are a wide variety of uses for the gem, but the most common is love. The crystal is often called the "love stone," and can be used in hopes of healing relationship problems, inspiring kindness and understanding, and as a form of self-care.
"Predominantly, rose quartz is a crystal of unconditional love that brings deep healing to the heart by opening the heart chakra. Once achieved, a deeper state of calmness, serenity, and peace is reached, which ultimately results in complete relaxation, encouraging the feelings of happiness and contentment," owner of KSC Crystals and reiki master, Keith Birch, told Healthline.
Of course, others use the stone to meditate with, and even to clear their complexion. It's also said that Rose Quartz can help with the power of positivity. "Rose quartz increases blood circulation in the body and is especially powerful when worn close to the heart. Rose quartz wards off negativity, and when carried on your person, helps to replace negative emotions with positive, returning the wearer to that place of pure love and balance," Birch said.
