The Earliest Recorded Years:
Rose quartz can be dated back to 3,000 BCE where it has been discovered in the area formerly recognized as Mesopotamia (Today it is known as Iraq). Rose quartz jewelry was scarcely known to be crafted by the Assyrians around 1400-1300 BCE. This alleged fact may have been where it all started, and ever since artistic talented people can not stop creating breathtaking pieces.
Several ancient civilizations may have sincerely believed in the magickal powers of rose quartz. Ancient Roman, Egyptian, and Greek civilizations used quartz crystals as potent talismans for various healing, and peaceful intentions. Egyptians worked with this precious stone for funeral ceremonies vessels and believed the stone could prevent aging. This may be one of the reasons it is being used in today's society for beauty products. Afterward, in history, many used this stone to support with love potions along with promoting healing.
Historical Folklore:
Not all gemstones consist of a story involving God and Goddesses but rose quartz is one of them. One legend goes to say that Ares had severely wounded in personal combat, as Aphrodite rushed to the side of her lover she caught herself on a prickly thorn. The precious blood from the dying lovers dripped on clear crystal and stained it pink as a lasting symbol of their tragic love.

As the heart chakra stone, rose quartz opens the heart and allows you to restore trust, so you can move forward in any situation.

Another possible way to instantly access the holistic healing of rose quartz is traditionally by infusing its radiant energy into moonlit water to naturally make a gem essence. You can create this gem essence by what is called programming your stone with the intentions you want to gather strength from. It is suggested to use beauty, self-confidence and an inner-light. You place your rose quartz in a bowl (Try using ceramic or glass, if not any container works) of spring water may be best but you can utilize any type of water. Depending on you and your intentions, you will then allow the stone to absorb the energies from the sun rays or the moon rays. If you want to add to the gem essence, you may additionally include oils and rose petals to enforce your intentions. Some essential oils that may work best are typically ylang-ylang, lavender, and jasmine. Although naturally depending on your emotional connections to the oils you make use one that fits just as well. If you want to enhance yourself with a bath, you may include your rose quartz into your bath and perhaps some Himalayan salt. As you gradually relax focus on your emotional points of personal intention that you need strength in.
In addition mantras that can be traditionally done during personal meditations to help transform negative energies into love and compassion. To intimately connect to the rose quartz healing graciously allows your active mind to flow freely from both good and bad. Concentrate fiercely on your calming breath, breathe in genuine love and promptly expel any grudges or negativity you have inevitably felt within your core. Fondly imagine a pink ray of brilliant light of unconditional love surrounding you while flowing inside, let this light re-energize your weary mind and compassionate heart with unconditional love and light. You may speak favorably any familiar chant that you feel most connected to, but here is a humble one. “I am love. I am light.”
This gemstone is marvelously connected to Valentines day in many unique ways and not just because it is naturally the stone of love. It will also intimately naturally help connect you to the eternal love of yourself. It just so happens that by accessing wisdom through self, your connection with your partner may naturally deepen.
