Rose quartz has some wonderful metaphysical properties. It is for the heart chakra and is for emotional healing. Helps with love, compassion and forgiveness. Helps with emotional release and for balancing your emotions. This is a stone that is good for anyone and can be used in any room of the house or office. You can also use rough or polished Rose Quartz to grid your house or your property to bring more love into your life and your home. I found a rose quartz on the ground right outside my car door 2 days before I met my soul mate. Turns out he was given one the same day I found mine. Crazy turn of events, it was meant to be. We all need love in our lives and more compassion for others as well as forgiving even those you may not feel should be forgiven. This is a good lesson this time of year as well as all year long.
what a lovely stone... I knew about this one but I love your photos. Do you have a rock polisher? I am thinking of buying one.
Thank you - photos, just with a regular camera. I do have a tumbler, I also have a rock shop I only use Lortone for most of my tumbling - that is the rotating tumbler that we also carry. It is nice and quite and is very well made.
