Rose Quartz's Metaphysical Properties are: It emits a calming, cooling energy which can work on all of the cakras to gently remove negativity and to reinstate the loving, gentle forces of self-love. It provides the message that there is no need for haste in any situation, bringing calmness and clarity to the emotions and restoring the mind to harmony after chaotic or crisis situations. It can be used for spiritual attunement to the energy of love. It provides for balancing of yin-yang energy and can attune each chakra to, and provide each chakra with, the proper frequency of energy vibration. This mineral is quite effective in the treatment of conditions relating to the emotional body, balancing the love emotions of the upper four chakras - heart, throat, brow, and crown chakras. Rose quartz can act as a rejuvenating agent for both the physical body and the emotions. It is an excellent energy for healing emotional "wounds."

The stone of peace and goodwill. It is closely associated with Venus, giving joy and happiness in friendship and love. The wearer also "feels good" and radiates forgiveness and rapport.
