Gemstone Bracelets Rose Quartz

For the heart, in every sense people mean that.

Rose quartz gets its colour from microscopic fibres of a mineral related to dumortierite threaded through the quartz — which is why the pink is cloudy rather than transparent, and why it ranges from almost white to a deep dusty rose depending on how much of it is there.

It has been carved into love talismans since at least 600 BC in Mesopotamia, and Egyptian women were buried with rose quartz face masks in the belief it preserved the complexion. It is, by some distance, the most given crystal in the world.

Rose quartz is worked with for compassion — and not only romantic. It's the stone people reach for in grief as often as in new love, and for self-forgiveness as often as for someone else. It sits with the heart.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

Keep it where you sleep. It's a soft stone in every sense."
