 From the times
immemorial the stones and gems were worshipped, various magic features were
attributed to them, both healing and mystic. This is not a surprise since we
live in a stable and changing world where we need something like an anchor to
have a peace and kind of eternity. And stones live forever unlike other
substances. Evidently, stones are subject to erosion, they are destroyed with
the time. Though, this process is extended and so indistinguishable for humans
that we assume that stones are the substance of eternity.
Yet, when considering
the incredible beauty of particular stones and we perceive the tender relation
of humans to gem jewels.
Every stone
possesses features and characteristics attributive only to it, depending on the
color, transparence and appearance. One of the most «romantic» stones is the rose
quartz.
This charming
stone was called the «heart gem» in the ancient East to fill the heart with
love and tender care. Such opinion may be evoked with the gentle, milky-pink
color of the stone.

love energy was sent through this very stone, and the people learn to love and
sympathize.
By the other
version, the rose quartz is the frozen juice of the young Earth, and this stone
helps to feel the integrity with the planet, with every live creature, both
animals and plants.
Is it true
or not we will never know, though we are sure that the rose quartz has been
used to manufacture love amulets and talismans from the past times, and this
stone was believed to be the best, and nobody could resist the fascination of
love and tenderness.
There are three
kinds of quartz in nature, from semitransparent milky rose stone with white
insertions as the first kind; the second kind stones are star-shaped rose quartz
(after the stone is faceted with cabochon there the hexactinal star sparkles in
the center of the stone lie the asteriated sapphire or ruby); to the third kind
belongs the rose quartz with the cat eye effect, iridescent as other ocellar quartz.
Any stone of any kind is especially gorgeous, even the «ordinary» rose quartz.
This stone is
mainly used to make jewels and small craftworks, like small statues, souvenirs,
beads, trinkets, and it is rare in node or
big crystals (big crystals of the rose quartz are rarely found in Brazil), and
mostly the stones come as small gems impossible to make a big jewel or any item
like bowls from nephritis, malachite, onyx.
