Rose Quartz - RQ7

A rosy outlook! Rose quartz is more than just the January birthstone; it’s a hot fashion color.

All the publicity is boosting the reputation of Rose Quartz, which was long overlooked in favor of more saturated colored gemstones. Of course, it isn’t the only pink gemstone out there, but compared to most, including, Pink Sapphire, it is certainly the most affordable.

In terms of lore, Rose Quartz is the gemstone of love. It is believed to promote romantic love, fertility, sexuality and energy. Wearing it is said to relieve anger, tension, guilt grief and fear, making the wearer look years younger. It dispels negativity, promotes calmness and reassurance, reduces high blood pressure and speeds overall healing.

In addition to be a January birthstone, Rose Quartz is also the gemstone of the fifth wedding anniversary.
