Rose Quartz Crystals and Gemstones
Rose Quartz Crystals and Gemstones - Cleanse and Re-Charge
Your Crystals and Gemstones
Crystals and gemstones correspond and resonate with specific
color frequencies, tones, and rays of light; increasing or amplifying a
particular energy vibration. Rose quartz resonates with pink or rose light,
enhancing love, emotional healing, seeing through eyes of love. Lapis resonates
with deep blue light, clearing channels of communication with others or the
ethereal Realm of Spirit; encouraging truth and integrity.
There are several ways crystals and gemstones can be
cleansed and charged or energized by being placed in Sun light; in Moon light;
rinsing them with cool running water; placing them in sea salt; burying
crystals in the ground for 24 to 48 hours placing crystals with points facing
upward toward the sky; pass crystals over and through incense or the flame of a
white candle; visualize white or violet light in and around the crystals; place
smaller crystals or stones on larger clusters of clear quartz or amethyst
quartz for 24 to 48 hours, be sure to cleanse the cluster and re-charge or
energize the crystal cluster in the sun or moon light.
Before cleansing and re-charging your crystals and
gemstones, consider rinsing each crystal or gemstone under cool running water.
If you are near the ocean, a lake or a stream be sure to have a firm grip on
your crystals or they might "jump" out of your fingers into the
water!
The intensity of the Sun's rays cleanses crystals and
gemstones within just a few hours. Placing crystals and gemstones in the Moon
light, especially during a full Moon, removes all lower negative or dirty
energies with a soft, yet very powerful energy.
Should you choose to cleanse your crystals or gemstones
using sea salt, be advised sea salt may remove more than stored negative
energy; the sea salt may also alter a crystals subtle, inner vibration, causing
an unwanted frequency re-alignment.
Earth Mother's healing energy regenerates crystals by
re-cycling or transmuting negative energy, restoring your crystals unique
vibrational frequency.
Larger Clear quartz or Amethyst quartz clusters have the
ability to cleanse and restore balance to smaller crystals and gemstones by
absorbing negative energy. I personally place my crystal pendants on larger
crystal clusters re-charging them overnight. My clusters are re-charged by the
Sun each day and by moonlight each night as it streams in through the windows.
Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz usually referred to as the "love
crystal" is part of the Quartz family of crystals and gemstones. When
tumbled, Rose Quartz ranges from very soft pink to a deeper pink. In its
natural form, it appears to sparkle and can be somewhat translucent when held
in Sun light. There are often veins or striations of lighter Rose Quartz which
appear almost white.
When held, it is possible to begin experiencing a sense of
harmony within your Heart Chakra, located in the center of your chest. The
soft, subtle energy of Rose Quartz soothes emotions, enabling emotional wounds
to heal more easily.
Rose Quartz will enhance your meditation experience, calming
you from within. Place Rose Quartz under your pillow or on your bedside table
to assist in calming your thoughts. A piece of Rose Quartz placed directly on
the Heart Chakra will gently draw out emotional hurt, allowing healing to begin.
It is possible to release emotional sorrow and pain through
forgiveness. Love is soft, gentle, and nurturing allowing you to heal at your
own pace. As the soft vibration of Rose Quartz resonates with your Heart
Center, it begins to lovingly re-create sacred space within, re-connecting you
with Divine Source Energy. In healing, you will be able to give and receive
love first, to you. As you continue to heal, a vacuum will be created where
pain and sorrow were once experienced, giving way to an increased level of
self-love, enabling you to give and receive love, if you so choose.
As soft, nurturing Rose Quartz energy begins to circulate
throughout your entire Be-ing, a sense of inner peace and harmony enhances
comfort and healing at the Soul level. Healing when sought with an open heart,
releasing all that has come before, clears the path to new adventures, new
experiences with a renewed sense of self-confidence.
Are you willing to release pain and sorrow, resentment real
or perceived, forgiving you and anyone else involved? To forgive is to release
you from self-imprisonment. Forgiveness is releasing you from reliving,
re-playing that which caused you pain and suffering. The intention of
forgiveness does not require you to place yourself in the same path or in
similar circumstances.
Remember to cleanse and re-charge your crystals often,
especially if you are working with your crystals during meditation and healing
work. The Blog on Crystals and Gemstones - An Introduction, has information
about cleansing and re-charging your crystals.

Rose Quartz - How Can I Use it to Attract Love?
Rose Quartz is the crystal which is mainly associated with
the heart chakra. There are seven chakras in the human body beginning at the
tail of the body (root chakra) and rising up through the spine to the top of
the head (crown chakra). Chakras are vortexes of spinning energy which keep us
feeling balanced and emotionally well. When these vortexes get clogged or
blocked with negative energy they can slow down which leaves us feeling out of
balance and can often lead to illness. The heart chakra is the fourth chakra
and is located directly in the middle of the chest and is associated with
feelings of emotion.
Rose Quartz is a member of the quartz family and is found
mostly in chunk form in Brazil, Madagascar, USA, Austria, India, China, Chile
and Spain. It has a harness of 7 on the Moh's hardness scale (talc having a
hardness of one and diamond having a hardness of ten) which means that although
it is strong enough to scratch glass, it can also get chipped if not taken care
of so it is recommended that you store your quartz in a soft cloth or bag when
not using it. It is also photosensitive so storing it out of direct sunlight is
also recommended
When you first acquire your Rose Quartz it is strongly
advised that you cleanse it first to clear it of any previous handling or
negative energy. There are various ways to cleanse different crystals but the
way recommended for Rose Quartz is to run it under a tap or through running
water (such as a clear stream) and visualise all negative energy being washed
away. You can also cleanse your quartz by leaving it on the windowsill under
the light of the moon (a full moon is best). Or you could also pass it through
smudge smoke to purify it. It is also advisable to cleanse your Rose Quartz
after using it to disperse any negativity it has picked up during use.
Being the stone most associated with the heart, it comes as
no surprise that Rose Quartz can help promote feelings of love (including self
love), it can help heal past traumas including childhood traumas, it can
comfort with feelings of loss or with help draw love towards you and as it can
help promote feelings of inner balance and peace, it is the ideal meditation
stone.
Some practical uses
of the stone are:
Lie on your back with a piece of your quartz located on the
centre of your chest just above the heart. Close your eyes and relax. Imagine
your heart opening to be filled with love. Breathe deeply and with every
breathe out, imagine all negativity and stress leaving you and being replaced
with pure love on your in breath. Although Rose Quartz is a gentle healer, it
can also heal deeply so you may experience tears as you finally let go of past
traumas and heal yourself.
It can help promote a restful nights sleep by putting it
under your pillow at bedtime. If you are using it to help a restless baby, the
please put the stone under the baby's mattress to keep it out of reach of
curious fingers and open mouths.
Rose Quartz spheres can help store love so keeping one at
the side of your bed to spice things up a little is another option!
Rose Quartz wands can help to focus and direct the healing
energy of the crystal.
Dropping a cleansed Rose Quartz into your bath can help with
a restful nights sleep.
Rose Quartz - Meaning of Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz ranges in colour from a very pale pink to a rose
red hue, it is mainly transparent to translucent, with a vitreous lustre. It is
usually available in rough chunks or polished pieces, as it rarely forms
defined crystals. It belongs to the macrocrystalline Quartz family, has a Mohs
hardness of seven, and its colouration is due to the presence of trace amounts
of titanium, iron, or manganese. Polished Rose Quartz often displays a
chatoyancy (cat's eye) effect, or asterism (6-pointed star), that is created by
included microscopic titanium crystals.
As a gemstone you will find it cut as cabochons and some of
the more transparent material may be faceted. This is also a very attractive
ornamental stone and is carved into spheres, figurines and ornate statues.
