Smooth, tumbled rose quartz stones with a soft pink glow. The palm-friendly form is ideal as a pocket stone, for meditation, as a gift or a mineral collection.
The stone of rose quartz
Rose quartz is the gentle pink variety of quartz, its colour coming from traces of titanium, iron or manganese; it ranges from translucent to milky, with a Mohs hardness of around 7. Tumbling brings out its soft, veiled pink and silky sheen. In crystal lore it is known as the stone of love and the heart, and tradition links it with the heart chakra, tenderness and self-acceptance.
The tumbled form
Tumbled stones gain their smooth, rounded surface through long polishing, which makes them sit pleasantly in the palm – a favourite as a pocket stone and meditation piece. This selection is mixed A/B quality: as a natural mineral, each piece can differ in shade, pattern and clarity, and every stone is unique. Pieces typically range between 0.5 and 2.5 cm.
Ways to use it
Rose quartz works beautifully as a pocket stone, on a bedside table or in a crystal corner, and makes an especially loving gift. Its soft pink brings warmth to a space.
Care and good to know
This is a durable mineral, yet it is worth protecting from knocks and abrasive surfaces and storing apart from other stones. Now and then you can rinse it under lukewarm water and pat it dry with a soft cloth.
