Through the centuries, Rose Quartz has been considered a love stone or a fertility crystal. Its value as a nurturing friend can not be overstated. By most accounts, it seems to deal with energy on an emotional level. It may seem odd to give what appears to be an inanimate object emotional characteristics, but it does seem to have a sympathetic nature when it is in tune with its owner.
With its receptive energy, Rose Quartz is used to open the upper heart chakra. Its magickal applications have included promoting peace, happiness and fidelity in established relationships.
