As early as 7,000 years ago, people in Mesopotamia used this delicate stone – rose quartz beads have been found in Assyrian tombs, silent witnesses to an ancient love for this crystal. 🏛️ The Greeks and the Gods of Love The ancient Greeks told a tragic story: Adonis , the mortal lover of the goddess of love Aphrodite, was mortally wounded by a wild boar. When Aphrodite rushed to his aid, she pricked herself on thorns. Her divine blood mingled with his and dripped onto white quartz – which turned pink forever. Thus, rose quartz became a symbol of eternal love that even transcends death. 🏺 In ancient Egypt The Egyptians believed in the rejuvenating power of rose quartz. Face masks made from powdered rose quartz were said to keep skin radiant and youthful – a tradition supposedly practiced by Cleopatra herself. Even today, some people swear by rose quartz rollers and gua sha stones for their skincare. 🌹 In the Middle Ages Knights and crusaders carried rose quartz talismans into battle – not for the fight itself, but as a reminder of the love that awaited them at home. It was believed the stone would protect them and bring them back safely. ↑ Top 🔬 Mineralogical Facts – What makes rose quartz so special? For those who want to know the details: Rose quartz is a variety of quartz (SiO₂) and thus belongs to the largest mineral family on Earth. Its characteristic pink color is due to tiny inclusions – for a long time, the exact cause remained a mystery. Today we know that dumortierite fibers and traces of titanium, iron, and manganese are responsible for the delicate pink color. Depending on the composition, the color can vary from pale rose to vibrant pink to almost lavender. Profile of Rose Quartz Mineral group: Oxides, Quartz group Chemical formula: SiO₂ (silicon dioxide) Crystal system: Trigonal Hardness: 7 (Mohs scale) Density: 2.65 g/cm³ Transparency: Translucent to opaque Gloss: Glassy luster, sometimes silky Important to know: Rose quartz is sensitive to light ! Direct sunlight can cause its color to fade over time.

You don't need any prior experience – just an open heart. 🌹 The Rose Quartz Heart Opening Ritual You need: A rose quartz (palm stone, heart or raw stone) A pink or white candle Optional: dried rose petals, rose oil or rose water A quiet, undisturbed place Approximately 20-30 minutes Best time: During a waxing moon (for new love) or a full moon (to strengthen existing love). Friday is the day of Venus – perfect for love rituals. Step-by-step instructions 1. Preparation (5 minutes) Cleanse your rose quartz under running water or with white sage smoke. Set it aside. Create a pleasant atmosphere: light a candle, perhaps put on some soft music, and scatter rose petals around you. 2. Grounding (3 minutes) Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Take three deep breaths. Imagine roots growing from your body into the earth, grounding you. Feel supported and safe. 3. Heart Opening (10 minutes) Hold the rose quartz in both hands. Hold it in front of your heart or place it directly on your sternum. Feel its weight, its temperature, its presence. Imagine a soft pink light emanating from the stone and enveloping your heart. With each breath, this light grows larger and warmer. It fills your entire chest, then your whole body. Now say – aloud or in your thoughts – the following affirmation (or one of your own): "I open my heart to love." I am worthy of being loved – just as I am. I invite love into my life – in all its forms. I forgive myself and others. My heart is open, my heart is free. Repeat these words as often as feels right. Allow feelings to arise – perhaps tears, perhaps warmth, perhaps a smile. 4. Visualization (5 minutes) Now, vividly imagine how more love manifests in your life. How do you feel? What do you see? Who is with you? Picture it as vividly as possible. Feel the joy, the gratitude, the warmth. 5. Gratitude & Conclusion (5 minutes) Thank your rose quartz for its support. Thank yourself for taking this time. Take another deep breath. Slowly open your eyes. Place the rose quartz in a special place – on your nightstand, your altar, in your bag. Allow the candle to burn down completely or extinguish it with a candle snuffer (do not blow it out, so as not to "blow away" the energy). 💡 Tips for lasting effect Repeat the ritual at every full moon or whenever you need it.
