    Known as the ‘stone of unconditional love’ rose quartz opens the heart to both giving and receiving love.
    A calming and reassuring stone of compassion and peace, it dissolves fears, resentments and anger. Rose quartz draws away negative energy and replaces it with positive vibes.

    This stone encourages self-acceptance and self-trust, and teaches us how to love ourselves, opening the door for us to love others.
