Rose Quartz A Gift Of Love And Healing

By Frank Bailey


When you are looking for the ideal gift for a birthday, anniversary, Valentine's Day or just because you love someone, it can be difficult to find something which expresses your deepest feelings. Flowers and candies are an easy choice but do not last and while a teddy bear hugging a heart looks cute, it can come across as being childish. Giving that special someone a gift made from rose quartz truly says I care and will last a lifetime.

As one of the most abundant minerals on the planet, items made from small pieces of this beautiful semi-precious stone can be really inexpensive. Larger items which have been carved into obelisks or bowls will be more expensive, but their beauty is worth the price. There are endless options for this stone so you are certain to find something within your budget.

The color of the stone can vary from a rosy red to a very pale pink. This is dues to trace amounts of metals in the crystal such as iron or titanium. A very rare form contains phosphate or aluminum to give it the delicate pink hue. The structure of this crystal is sensitive to light and can fade over time making the range of colors immense.

For people who are born under the signs of Libra or Taurus, this semi-precious stone is considered to be your birthstone. This makes it a great present for someone with their birthday falling from mid September to mid October or mid April until mid May. It has associations with caring. Trust romance and unconditional love. This little gem says everything you would want to your loved one.

Many people believe that crystals have healing powers and this stone is thought to have many healing properties. It is thought to bring balance to the whole body, especially the heart and circulation. It is also believed that it can aid with chest and kidney problems as well as aiding in the alleviation of vertigo.

These vibrations of balance, well-being and caring are also believed to aid fertility. There is also a belief that the crystal can be of benefit during pregnancy and prevent miscarriage. The associations with calmness and relaxation could be the reason for this as when mother is relaxed then so is her fetus.

Whatever your beliefs about the powers of crystals, this mineral is one of nature's beauties and an object made from it would enhance any home. It is also a perfect gift for bridesmaids and young girls as the delicacy of jewelry made from this lovely semi-precious stone compliments their own youth and beauty. While some gems can be brash or gaudy, somehow earrings, necklaces and bracelets made from this pale jewel are always delightful.

Your high street jeweler or department store should have many items to choose from so you can find the perfect gift. Specialist crystal stores are likely to have larger items and the more rare varieties and can offer more insight into the properties which are associated with this delightful mineral. Should you be unable to find a store locally or perhaps are searching for something truly unique, then the internet has an abundance of retailers offering items to suit all budgets and needs.
