ROSE QUARTZ

The color is considered as due to trace amount of iron, titanium or manganese.There are three versions of the origin of the name of this stone: from the Old Germanic word "quarr" ("quarz") used by German miners to describe this stone as "rasp", the Slavic word "kwardy" means "hard" and the Greek "krystallos" means "ice". According to legend, it was used by Cupid to spark love and passion. Quartz also was the patron of Astarte - Queen of the Stars, who was the Phoenician goddess of fertility, love and war. That is why, it is called a Stone of Love, but not only in a romantic sense but mainly love for yourself. It helps you to see the beauty of this world and accepting yourself and the closest ones.
