HISTORY and OVERVIEW

Rose Quartz was first found in 7000 BC in Mesopotamia, (Iraq).  In 800-600 BC it was carved to make jewellery by both the Romans and the Assyrians. Ancient Romans, Egyptians and Greeks believed it to have the magical powers of quartz and used it as talismans.  Romans also used it as a seal to signify ownership and Egyptians believed it could prevent ageing. 

In the Middle Ages, medical practitioners used Rose Quartz in healing potions and early Americans used it as a Love Stone, also believing it would balance emotions and heal anger and disappointment. 

It is said that Cupid and Eros brought Rose Quartz to earth in hope that its colour would arouse love and desire.

Another legend says that  Ares (the God of War), was jealous of Aphrodite’s love for Adonis (the God of Beauty and Desire) and turned himself into a wild boar.  Ares attacked Adonis, as Aphrodite rushed to save Adonis she caught herself on a briar bush, her blood spilt on white quartz staining it pink. 

An Egyptian goddess Isis searched for river-tumbled rose quartz to use on her face. She would rub the stones over her cheeks and around her eyes because she found this helped keep and restore her beauty.
